ROSAL ADU

Sited in a sunny hillside garden, this cozy live-work ADU delivers moments of surprise and delight with thoughtfully-designed dynamic indoor and outdoor spaces.  Light from bountiful skylights and strategically-placed windows plays gracefully with the soft geometry and warm wood detailing below the cathedral ceilings.  French doors open onto a flagstone patio which serves as an outdoor extension of the ADU living space nestled into a pollinator garden with dry-stacked stone walls.

The versatile design of the detached one-bedroom unit creates comfortable living quarters for the homeowner’s visiting family, a quiet home office featuring a Murphy bed that transforms into a desk, and a home theater with a built-in projection screen.

The all-electric ADU incorporates many features of modern and green design including: a rooftop solar array and battery system, broad eaves for solar shading and rain protection, an air-sealed building envelope and rain-screen system, energy-efficient appliances and heat pump HVAC system, a curb-less shower, and exterior trim and siding treated with a traditional Scandinavian finish of boiled pine tar and linseed oil.
