GARAGE CONVERSION TO ADU MID CENTURY MODERN 820 SQ. FT. JULIAN CA.

Transforming an 820 square foot garage into a one-bedroom, one-bathroom Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) was a challenging yet rewarding project. The main house, boasting a mid-century modern design, served as the guiding inspiration for this renovation. The goal was to seamlessly integrate the ADU into the existing property, maintaining its style while enhancing its functionality.

The exterior of the ADU was a crucial aspect of the project, with particular attention paid to ensuring it complemented the aesthetics of the main house. To achieve this, the sloped roof of the ADU was designed to mirror the main house's distinctive mid-century modern roofline. This thoughtful detail created a harmonious transition between the two structures, making it appear as if the ADU was always a part of the property.

Preserving the original 8-foot siding of the garage was a key decision, as it aligned with the mid-century modern look and feel. However, to enhance the visual appeal and introduce natural light, a line of upper windows was added to the design. This not only brightened the interior but also connected the ADU with the outdoor environment. In areas where windows were not desired, matching color stucco was applied, adding depth and texture to the structure.

Privacy was a significant consideration during the design and construction of the ADU. A separate entrance and a privacy fence were strategically incorporated to ensure that the residents of both the main house and the ADU could enjoy their personal space without intrusion. This approach created two entirely private dwelling units on the property, enhancing the overall living experience for everyone.

Situated on a spacious lot of over 1 acre, the property is abundant with lush trees and natural beauty. This natural setting contributes to a serene and tranquil environment for both the main house and the newly created ADU. Residents can enjoy the best of both worlds – the modern comfort of the ADU and the serene connection with nature offered by the expansive lot.

The renovation of the garage into a one-bedroom ADU not only maximized the utility of the property but also added a touch of sophistication and modernity that seamlessly blended with the existing mid-century modern design. The careful attention to detail in maintaining the architectural coherence and privacy ensures that both the main house and the ADU are peaceful and functional retreats in a natural oasis. This project stands as a testament to the harmonious coexistence of style and functionality, making it an excellent addition to the property.
