Farmhouse Detached ADU | Redwood City, CA

This ADU was designed at 749 sqft and includes 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, laundry, a full farmhouse-style kitchen, and a comfortable living room with French doors connecting to the yard. The exterior materials and detailing are a complement to the main home, but depart slightly for a fresher look with on-trend modern farmhouse tie ins. We utilized an L-shape floor plan to ensure the ADU fit within existing site conditions, namely a heritage redwood tree that the city required us to preserve. The resulting unit thoughfully incorporates multiple entrances and bathroom configuration for tremendous flexibility - as a full-time rental, mixed office and au-pair unit

We sited the ADU around a large, heritage redwood tree in the yard, using an L-shape floorplan to ensure good health for the root bed and pleasant, shaded areas for the residents of this ADU.
