The challege: Create a fun and inviting ADU with modestly-scaled amenities within the footprint of an existing, light challenged lower level. The existing space was once a 1960s party pad with an indoor charcoal rotisserie. Mostly glad in vinyl, laminate, and petroleum based carpet, the party ended in the early 90s and this lower level space was left to the mice. Working within a modest budget, we knew we needed to reorganize the floor plan without modifying the core structure. Our solution was to work with the ethos of inserting program while working around columns and beams. Instead of the typical accordion window wall frequently installed in ADU's and lower level spaces, we brought in daylight via a series of fixed windows with deep sills.
