Doubling down on an architectural gem in the Berkeley Hills: This office addition is also a beautiful second home.

We transformed this Berkeley home with an attached accessory dwelling that can be an office, a rental home, or anything the owners want it to be.

In the vibrant city of Berkeley, New Avenue Homes recently designed a remarkable project that will elevate the homeowner's property on multiple levels. Our team designed an attached accessory dwelling that not only expands the living space but also adds significant value to the property.

A Home Office Today, Anything They May Need Tomorrow

This Berkeley project involved the creation of a 693-square-foot attached ADU, seamlessly integrated into the existing midcentury home and thoughtfully designed to maximize western views of the Bay. The ADU is situated beneath the existing wraparound balcony to preserve the views and is wedge-shaped in plan to accommodate easements and other site constraints.

The ADU features two bedrooms, a well-appointed bathroom, a modern kitchen, and a comfortable living area. The homeowner's primary goal was to establish a versatile space that could serve as a home office, but the design allows for multiple uses, including accommodating family members, hosting guests, or generating rental income.

Enhancing Property Value

By adding this attached ADU, we've not only met the homeowner's immediate need for a home office but also substantially increased the property's value. In Berkeley's competitive real estate market, an ADU is a distinct advantage. It's a wise investment that not only expands living space but also offers financial flexibility through potential rental income, savings on housing expenses for loved ones, and increased property value.
