Award-winning accessory dwellings, backyard cottages, and in-law units designed and built by New Avenue
At New Avenue, we've designed and built a lot of accessory dwellings, backyard cottages, and in-law units. Here's a look back at some of our favorite projects.
Our first backyard cottage
This was our first project, a tiny backyard cottage for a Berkeley professor. That vaulted ceiling is quite nice. See more: https://www.pinterest.com/NewAvenue/karens-cottage-studio-with-a-sleeping-loft/
A Project with Sunset Magazine
Below is a cottage we did with Sunset Magazine. This 1 bed, 1 bath home features a loft, a kitchen, and a living area. It's a great example of comfortable living in a small space.

A multipurpose office/guest room/storage space
Meet Bruce, Nancy, and their daughter. They needed mores space for guests, so they converted the old milk barn on their property into this amazing accessory building. Now there's space for the grandparents when they come to visit, and they've got a beautiful office with decor that strikes a perfect balance between rustic and modern.

A garden cottage with kitchen, bedroom, and bathroom
Below is a 420-square-foot cottage with all the amenities of home. Judy's family needed more space, and this charming cottage was their solution: https://www.pinterest.com/NewAvenue/judys-garden-cottage-downsizing-to-a-backyard-cott/
