The Poolside ADU
This modest 500sf single level ADU is complemented by a lush landscape, a lavish pool, and jacuzzi, designed with total privacy in mind.
The goal with this project was to add a small ADU in the spacious backyard for short-term guests. This ADU is complemented by a lush landscape, a lavish pool, and jacuzzi, designed with total privacy in mind. To create a bright open feel in the ADU, we vaulted the interior ceilings, and incorporated large windows facing toward the outdoor fireplace, offer great views to the landscaped backyard and the pool area. With the temperate climate of the Pacific Northwest, creating strong indoor outdoor connections is always desirable.
The ADU consists of one bathroom and a “great room” with combined living, kitchen, dining and sleeping areas. There is also a passthrough window, funcitioning as a cocktail bar area for social events.
