Adams Point

Detached ADU in Adams Point, Oakland, lit up at dusk

Adams Point ADU

A 575 sq ft, one-bedroom backyard ADU, built so the owner could move in and rent out the much larger main house. Sometimes the goal is less space, not more: one open room, a 12-foot bi-fold door to the garden, a heat pump water heater, and 2×6 walls for better insulation and lower heating and cooling.Learn more about this project

“The exceptional precision that Alex brings to every aspect of construction really shows … Alex was always up front with me and transparent with his invoicing, planning, everything, and I would hire him again without question.”
