Key Architectural Features:
- Seamless Integration: Our design seamlessly integrates a garage conversion ADU directly connected to the existing structure. This approach not only expands living areas but also enhances connectivity within the property.
- Innovative Roof Design: To address structural concerns and optimize space utilization, we devised an innovative roof connection method. This solution not only prevents water leakage but also adds a distinctive architectural element to the property.
- Maximized Livable Area: By repurposing the courtyard space, we transformed it into additional livable area, aligning with our client’s desire for a functional and efficient living space.
- Improved Accessibility: Accessibility was a key consideration in our design process. We focused on enhancing accessibility and improving the flow of the primary structure and SB9 development, resulting in a more user-friendly environment.
The Challenge
Our client came to us with a unique vision: transform their existing 5-bedroom, 2-bathroom residence into a functional and inviting multifamily home. The goal was to maximize living space while creating a cohesive and accessible environment, all while prioritizing a new garage conversion ADU (Accessory Dwelling Unit).
The Design Solution
Working collaboratively with our client, we developed a comprehensive plan that seamlessly integrates the garage conversion ADU with the existing structure. This not only expands the overall livable area but also improves connectivity throughout the property.
One of the most innovative aspects of this project was our approach to roof connections. To address structural concerns and optimize space, we devised a unique roof connection method that not only prevents water leakage but also adds a striking architectural detail.
In the spirit of maximizing functionality, we repurposed the existing courtyard, transforming it into additional livable space. This decision aligns perfectly with our client’s desire for a highly efficient and well-utilized home.
Accessibility and Collaboration
Accessibility was a core principle throughout our design process. We focused on improving accessibility within the main living space and the new ADU, creating a more user-friendly and inclusive environment.
The process of bringing this project to life has been marked by close collaboration with both our client and city officials. We’ve worked diligently to navigate regulatory requirements, addressing structural concerns and ensuring that our designs adhere strictly to building codes. It’s been a pleasure, and even a source of amusement at times, working with the city planners – they’ve brought both expertise and a healthy dose of humor to the process.
The Result
The end result of this project will be a beautifully redesigned multifamily home that exceeds our client’s expectations in terms of functionality, accessibility, and overall appeal. The seamless integration of the ADU, innovative design elements, and focus on maximizing livable space will create a truly exceptional living experience.
