The Seabright ADU project showcases the transformation of an existing detached garage into a stylish and functional accessory dwelling unit (ADU). This project artfully combines the original garage's structural elements with thoughtful design updates to create a fully compliant, livable space that maximizes every square foot.". | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
A key feature of this conversion was the integration of prior home office improvements, including an upper loft, into the new design. The result is a seamless blend of old and new, culminating in a modern ADU that meets California’s building standards while embracing the creative opportunities offered by the "tiny house" appendix of the California Building Code. This appendix provided flexibility for design elements such as stair steepness and reduced head heights in the loft area, enabling us to craft a unique and inviting space. The redesigned interior offers a well-thought-out layout that includes a compact yet fully equipped kitchen, a cozy dining area, a family gathering space, and an upstairs sleeping loft that overlooks the main living areas below. By gutting the existing structure and reimagining its potential, the project embodies the perfect balance of practicality and charm, emphasizing the "less is more" philosophy. This ADU is not only a testament to creative problem-solving but also a shining example of how a small structure can deliver big living potential. It’s ideal for accommodating guests, generating rental income, or providing an independent living space for family members—all while enhancing the property’s value. The Seabright ADU highlights our team’s expertise in designing innovative, code-compliant spaces that maximize functionality and aesthetic appeal, even within the constraints of compact footprints. |
