Cloudy Bay Adu is a two-story carriage house design providing 650 square feet of heated living area, optimized for a compact 32-foot width by 25-foot depth footprint. The structure is engineered to maximize vertical utility, placing the primary living quarters on the upper level to prioritize privacy and natural light exposure. This ADU configuration serves as a versatile solution for rental income, guest accommodation, or a detached home office.
The upper level spans 650 square feet and features a 9-foot ceiling height, creating a sense of volume within the efficient floor plan. This level houses a full kitchen with a central island, a dedicated living zone, and one full bathroom. A 60-square-foot deck is accessible from this floor, extending the usable living area outdoors and providing a transition space between the interior and exterior environments.
The first floor is dedicated to a 650-square-foot, 2-car front-load garage with 10-foot ceilings, providing significant vertical clearance for vehicle storage or a workshop. This garage-first structural approach ensures the living quarters remain elevated, increasing the overall site utility and allowing for a smaller building footprint on restricted lots.
Construction specifications include 2x6 exterior wall framing and a 10:12 roof pitch, contributing to a maximum building height of 27 feet 11 inches. These structural choices provide a durable frame that balances the aesthetic of a traditional carriage house with the requirements of modern residential building standards.
