Designed as part of a larger retreat property, this ADU (Accessory Dwelling Unit) was created to give guests a sense of independence while still feeling connected to the main home.
This particular one sits above the garage which is common, though they certainly aren’t always designed that way. I was just speaking with this client recently, and her son and his family are coming to stay this summer. It’s become the perfect little getaway within a getaway for everyone.
The kitchen itself may be compact, but it functions beautifully for guests with generous prep space, open shelving for everyday essentials, and an easy flow into the living area. Surrounded by views of the trees, it’s the kind of space that naturally invites slow mornings, casual meals, and long weekends with family and friends.
