Vibrant ADU

Vibrant ADU

Designed to support a dual work-from-home household, this ADU meets the client's need for a flexible space—serving as a part-time office and recording studio, as well as occasional guest accommodations. The project included a full garage conversion: structural wall reinforcement, a new foundation slab, upgraded insulation, efficient space planning, and full plumbing installation.

New double doors, a skylight, and a row of windows fill the space with natural light and provide views of the front yard, enhancing daily life for the residents. A full-height bathroom mirror reflects daylight from a Solatube, minimizing the need for artificial lighting. Acoustics were fine-tuned to support high-quality podcast recording for the resident’s growing business.

“We cannot properly express what this ADU has done for our home! It’s completely multi-functional. It’s hard to believe the square footage is even the same as the original garage. Somehow its beautiful, clean and efficient design makes our property seem twice as big.”
