Lumen 1B AC

This project is a showcase piece that maximizes what can be done using the City’s ADU zoning codes. The property has an existing 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home and now has two additional units added to the back yard – a 1-bedroom Lumen ADU, and a Micro-144 detached sleeping quarter that includes a small bathroom and kitchenette. Three different unit types come together on one mid-town lot, articulating compact outdoor courtyard spaces, all fed with rainwater and graywater features from the buildings.

The Lumen model is crafted with ample opportunity for customization, an open floor plan, handsome roof line, and a blend of sleek design with accessibility. This Lumen 1B features a wide-open floor plan with a modified kitchen layout and soaring ceilings that bathe the space in natural light. Polished concrete floors and crisp white finishes create a clean, modern aesthetic, making the home feel much larger than its compact size. With plenty of built-in storage and charming nooks, this unit is a blank canvas ready for a personal touch. This unit is rented on a long-term lease to a retired person, big on comfort and accessibility.
