Modern ADU
Build Redwood City
A compact, modern accessory dwelling unit featuring an open kitchen-living-dining footprint, soft-grey fluted cabinetry, a concrete-look quartz waterfall island, light oak engineered flooring, and a minimalist black-accent lighting package — designed to live larger than its square footage.

The Vision
A small footprint that lives big
This Redwood City ADU was designed as a fully self-contained living space — kitchen, lounge, and dining all sharing one open footprint without feeling compressed. The brief called for clean modern lines, premium finishes, and storage hidden in plain sight, so the unit could function comfortably as a long-term in-law suite, guest quarters, or rental.
The material palette is intentionally restrained: soft sage-grey fluted lower cabinetry, concrete-look quartz waterfall surfaces, light oak engineered flooring, and matte black hardware and lighting. A single paint color across walls and ceiling pulls the volume together, and sheer white drapery softens the daylight without dimming it.

An ADU isn't a smaller version of a house — it's a different problem to solve. Every line, every fixture, every transition has to earn its place.Bark & Build Builders · CSLB #1119304
Stage 01
The Kitchen & Island
A galley kitchen with sage-grey fluted lower cabinetry, an integrated cooktop, undercabinet lighting, and tall full-height storage along the back wall keeps the working core compact. A freestanding waterfall island in concrete-look quartz divides the kitchen from the living area without walling it off, and doubles as additional prep space and a casual eating bar.
Black recessed pulls and matte black hardware tie back to the track lighting overhead, and integrated outlets on the island side let the unit serve as a workspace whenever the kitchen isn't in active use.

Stage 02
The Living & Dining Area
A grey upholstered sectional anchors the lounge side of the open plan, oriented toward a wall-mounted television above a low fluted media console. A compact extending dining table with black metal chairs sits between the lounge and the island, allowing the same square footage to flex between dining for four, a remote workstation, or extra prep space when entertaining.
Two distinct lighting fixtures — a multi-arm sputnik over the lounge and a linear pendant over the dining table — give each zone its own visual identity, while the continuous oak flooring and single wall color keep the whole footprint reading as one connected room.

The Result
A Fully-Equipped Second Home

Built for Real Living
This isn't a studio with a hotplate. It's a complete dwelling unit with full kitchen, comfortable lounge, dedicated dining, and the storage and infrastructure to support a long-term resident.
