St Johns ADU

Description

This project was a challenging project because it was in an up-and-coming neighborhood in the back of an existing rental home. This was for long term rental was the purpose of the build. The existing home was slightly bigger than the ADU and was never going to be a desirable home for retail, so we had to be cost contains on the build and design.

We were able to work with the owners to create a large 1 bedroom and 1 bathroom,540 sqft unit. Constructing it posed an interesting challenge as we had to ensure the comfort and privacy of the existing tenant in the front home while building the ADU. Creating a separate backyard space for the tenant was essential. This situation allowed us to carefully consider the orientation and design of the ADU, considering how people would live in the space we were constructing.
