ACCESSORY DWELLING UNIT (ADU) 2020
Strawberry, Mill Valley
Small footprint, big views, open floor plan. Turk Kauffman Architecture / Eldridge Studio recently completed a spacious studio apartment with panoramic views of Richardson Bay. The 629-square-foot luxury accessory dwelling unit (ADU), built over a garage, provides the property owner flexibility to either rent out the apartment or move into it herself.
The existing garage was converted to a 2-car carport and laundry and utility room with under-stair storage.The new 2nd-story apartment has a separate entrance, full kitchen, bed niche and slate and marble tile bath. Water and trees surround the main space and deck as well as the bath. A closet separates the sleeping area from living / dining maintaining both privacy and views. A butterfly sloped tongue-and-groove douglas fir ceiling and beam add richness and warmth to a minimal interiors palette that includes tall aluminum windows and sliding doors and a corner projecting window box at the top of the stairs. The deck and facade are angled to take advantage of the proximity to Richardson Bay and property setbacks.
