McCollum ADU

Project: 1200 sf two bed two bath ADU/ poolhouse/ office in Silverlake

Year: under construction

The ADU enters from the alley at the back and hugs a small pool/spa at the middle of the property. Originally started as a guest house the client, as many do, decided to make the ADU for themselves. But it needed to do many things. It is to be a pool house and hang out space for the pool; it needs a master bedroom suite and bath; it wants to be an office space since the owner works from home part time. The ADu also did not want to occupy too much footprint so we build up a two story mass around the pool and decided to place the kitchen/ living room and guest suite on the second floor. This freed up space at the ground floor for the poolhouse as well as provided separation for the master suite. The views are excellent at the second floor and its nice to have that for the public spaces.
