47th St ADU

Project: 1200 sf three bed three bath ADU in Highland Park

Year: 2023 (built- waiting to be photographed)

Along the driveway rows of potted plants waiting to bloom, the rear of the property is an orchard of all kinds of fruit trees with one large and sculptural guava in the middle. We immediately think to weave an ADU among the fruit trees. The client, a mother and her two grown children, will each get their own bedroom/bath and courtyard with fruit tree. The living room and kitchen form the central space. Large windows on both sides make the living room feel both inside and out. A datum of wood helps to weave the exterior courtyards with the interior.
