INFO
ADU for an Artist is an accessory dwelling unit designed as a flexible space that can be used for living, working, exhibiting, and storage. The space is open and adaptable with large north-facing sliding doors opening onto a garden. Three large lightwells span across the main space from wall to wall. The building is clad in metal shingles for fire resistance as well as a nod to the material repetition of the existing masonry home. An asymmetrical roof creates an efficient attic space above the kitchen and bathroom. Native grasses slip under and sway against the stepped foundation and floating deck, giving continuity to the landscape around it.
