This is an new construction 5 bedroom, 5 bath, attached 4 car garage, with an attached jr. adu, as well as a detached ADU, which also has its own 4 car garage, at 1,100 sq ft. . The program is to completely demo the existing home and build the new 5 bedroom 5 bathroom 2 car garage, with green roof edging and solar panels totaling enough kw/hr, to offset usage through the entire day, and battery storage to supply power during peak hour demands. There is a small pool that separates the home from the detached ADU, which acts as a passive cooling unit to the home when the sliding doors are open, to the kitchen. The refraction from the pool dances on the walls and the ceilings of the two buildings, giving a sense of peace and calmness.

The highly urbanized infill site dictated the over all design, eliminating windows to the front street facade, while providing massive skylights to the interior, to allow natural light into the interior on all levels. The entry condition and the side yard is flanked and wrapped by a perforated slated screen that contains pau-ferro Brazilian mature tree, glowing the screen to glow like a lantern, from the exterior and to the interior.
