The POD by Aligned Architecture is the smallest plan in Eugene's pre-approved program at 287 square feet. It's a micro dwelling that doesn't try to be something it isn't. One room, one bathroom, and a roof that makes you look twice.
The dual roof form is the signature move. A sloped plane and a flat plane meet to create clerestory windows that flood the interior with light from above. The flat roof extends outward to shelter a covered entry porch supported by exposed timber posts, giving it a Pacific Northwest feel despite the compact size. Inside, the open great room layout lets you arrange the space as studio, office, or guest house.
For homeowners who want an ADU but don't need a full apartment, The POD is a smart entry point. Lower construction costs, smaller site impact, and a design that looks like architecture rather than an afterthought.
