Pasadena ADU

This Pasadena ADU by Eden Builders brings a cheerful blue exterior together with warm wood cabinetry and patterned tile. Inside, the kitchen opens to a bright living area, while the bathroom combines a tiled shower, built-in bench and recessed niche. Outdoor paths and a patio connect the home to its garden setting.

Project goal

Create a compact home with a welcoming character, useful storage and comfortable connections between the kitchen, living areas and surrounding outdoor space.
