Castro Valley ADU
Concepts for an 850 s.f. detached 1-story ADU located in Castro Valley included elevating to take advantage of distant views and to create utility space under the living area for a ducted HVAC system, water heater tank and storage. The layout includes 2 bedrooms, 2 baths, kitchen island, and living room. A 7-ft x 30-ft roof-covered porch overlooks the valley, and skyline views all the way to San Francisco Bay and Coast Ranges. The project is in an unincorporated area of Alameda County and is in a high fire hazard. UDLA is an expert in both local and Cal Fire’s safe building construction standards and defensible space design.
