Custom Two-Story ADU Construction
in Santa Monica, CA.
A custom two-story ADU in Santa Monica designed around efficient vertical planning, clean modern lines, natural materials, and clear separation between everyday living areas and more private spaces.
Two Levels,
Planned as One Home.
This Santa Monica two-story ADU uses vertical space to create a more complete residential layout within a compact footprint. The two levels allow daily living areas and more private spaces to function with greater separation.
Kitchen and living areas, bedroom comfort, bathroom function, natural materials, lighting, and circulation were considered together so the ADU feels like a complete home rather than simply added square footage.
Before & During construction
Two-Story Living,
Planned Around Each Level.
This Santa Monica two-story ADU was planned as a complete small home, using the vertical layout to create more distinction between everyday living areas and private spaces.
Circulation between floors, natural light, storage, kitchen and bathroom function, and interior finishes were considered together so both levels feel connected while serving different purposes within the home.
Clean modern lines and natural materials give the ADU a warm, residential character, while the two-story configuration makes efficient use of the available property footprint without making the interior feel compressed.
