ADU in Altadena


The objective of this project was to create an accessory living unit (ADU) on the land of an existing home located in Altadena, California. My design was influenced by a pair of clients that have returned home to live with a partner at their parents home due to economic downturn. The couple consisted of a painter and a writer that both needed spaces of their own to create.
