The Addison ADU located in beautiful Berkeley, California sets the bar high as an example of how to create an elegant, comfortable, and practical solution to help families age in place. Maintaining an owner’s independence, all the while being close to those who you hold near and dear. This functional and beautifully designed ADU was built with indoor-outdoor living in mind to enjoy the excellent weather the San Francisco North Bay has to offer.
The interior was designed to provide convenience, mobility, and safety in preparation for aging-in-place and assisted living. The large skylights and windows combined with a vaulted ceiling produce plenty of natural lighting – essential for older eyes and the owner’s painting hobby. The roofline was designed to be obscure from the backyard neighbors while maintaining a sense of privacy. The L-shaped home also creates a welcoming interior and exterior space for family gatherings.
