Multipurpose Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) in Walnut Creek, CA

Challenge

Our client expressed a need for a versatile space that can serve multiple purposes. They desired a comfortable accommodation for their mother-in-law’s visits, a dedicated hangout area for their older children, a private office/gym for personal use, and a full bathroom to cater to the pool area. In addition, it was essential to optimize the available space and construct the structure within a compact, yet efficient, 1,000 square foot area.

Solution

For this new poolside ADU, our clients chose sleek polished concrete floors, creating a modern and sophisticated look throughout the space. The ADU was also designed with 1.5 bathrooms and a full-size washer and dryer.

To fill the space with natural light, we added multiple skylights, creating an inviting and bright atmosphere. Additionally, we installed folding glass doors that seamlessly connected the indoor and outdoor areas, and maximized the sense of openness.
