Humboldt Street DBU

This project is a study in small-space efficiency. This DBU (Detached Bedroom Unit) offers a flexible, cost-effective way to expand your home’s footprint—perfect for hosting guests or creating a dedicated space for late-night teenage sleepovers. Beyond its versatility, the unit is a model of sustainable craftsmanship; it is FSC-certified from the framing to the Zena edge-grain flooring. With its high-performance envelope, metal roof, and triple-pane windows, the space remains cozy and quiet, requiring almost no heating or cooling even in shifting seasons.
