Design story

The biggest ADU you can build in California. A true family-ready home with a 14-foot vaulted great room, a real kitchen with island, dedicated laundry, and indoor-outdoor flow designed for full-time living.

Our client needed a three-bedroom, two-bathroom home large enough for a family of four — without leaving their existing property. We designed a 1,200-square-foot ADU that pushes California's size limit while delivering the volume, storage, and livability of a traditional single-family home. The 14-foot vaulted great room, kitchen island, and private patio make the Franklin feel far larger than its footprint.

Custom Design

This is a one-of-one.

The Franklin was designed for a specific client, lot, and vision. It is not available as a fixed-price Signature Home.
