About Project

Magdalena ADU is a no-nonsense, architect-designed accessory dwelling unit—built to deliver full-scale living, not just extra square footage. The scope covers everything from initial site planning to final construction, creating an 800 sqft modern outbuilding that lives big and works hard. The form is blunt and minimalist: clean geometry, full-height glass, minimal maintenance surfaces. The layout is all function—open-plan kitchen and living zone, private bedroom suite, integrated storage, and direct access to the pool and outdoor kitchen. Circulation makes sense, transparency and privacy are balanced, with zero wasted space.

Every detail is selected for longevity and unapologetic usability. Structure and finish choices—steel, stone, commercial-grade millwork—push this ADU beyond “guest house” limits. You get pro-level outdoor cooking, year-round comfort systems, and truly durable exterior finishes. Lighting, privacy screens, and sightlines are designed for all-day, everyday use. The finished product is straightforward, modern, and honest: a full-service home addition where nothing is show, and everything is substance.
