The neighborhoods in Palo Alto can be characterized by decades of accretion where houses around the University Avenue, Midtown, and Professorville are frequently located on lots that have been developed through extensive residential occupancy and not through current-day construction fashions. Our team realizes that ADU designing and planning in this case is not so much about adding space but rather about operating within the current schemes of access, and privacy. The local conditions, such as hot summers, seasons when humidity is mild, and cold winter nights, should be planned carefully so that there are smaller buildings that are comfortable and available to provide the functionality without interfering with the property.

We do not plan the ADU as a separate addition but rather we plan the usage of the space on a daily basis. This implies assessing entry points, distance between the main home and the shared spaces outside the house, as well as the functionality of the ADU on its own. The usability-first view can enable us to develop plans that are deliberate, effective and harmonious with the residential settings of Palo Alto.

Customized ADU Planning Process

Palo Alto needs a tailored planning process because the properties used do not always conform to the same patterns. Our team creates ADU plans that are created according to the functionality of each location rather than preset layouts. Customization makes sure that the decisions that are planned are based on actual conditions.

Understanding Property Constraints

We consider the depth of the lot, the access routes as well as the distance to adjacent homes. These are variables that define realistic planning choices. Delays in clarity lead to design conflicts in the future.

Making Design to Meet Everyday Use

Decision on planning is related to the occupation of the ADU. Real routines are manifested in circulation, storage, and room placement. This enhances the usability in the long term.

Planning Stages Co-ordination

The strategy of each stage is based on the predecessor level. The process of making decisions is done in a sequence to eliminate rework. Structure maintains efficiency of the process.

An individualized solution shuns coerced solutions. The results are predictable when the respondent plans in response to the property.
