**Case Study: Alta Vista Residence by Alterstudio** Alterstudio's Alta Vista Residence is a thoughtful and sustainable response to Austin's housing crisis. By incorporating an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) into the design, the architects created an affordable living space for the clients' son while maximizing the value of their investment. **Key Features:** * **Sloping lot:** The steeply sloping lot allowed for additional living space without increasing the street elevation. * **Natural light:** Large windows and a light color palette maximize natural light and create a connection to the surrounding landscape. * **Board-formed concrete wall:** The board-formed concrete wall is a striking architectural feature that extends from the exterior into the kitchen, creating a cohesive and inviting space. * **Sustainable design:** The use of natural materials and passive design strategies reduces the environmental impact of the home. **Benefits:** * **Affordable housing:** The ADU provides affordable housing in a desirable neighborhood. * **Investment potential:** The thoughtful design and use of quality materials ensure that the property will appreciate over time. * **Sustainable living:** The energy-efficient features and connection to nature promote sustainable living. The Alta Vista Residence is a successful example of how adaptive reuse and sustainable design can create affordable, beautiful, and environmentally friendly homes. Alterstudio Architects, LLP
