The Evergreen Model is a rustic-modern architecture ADU, offering both functionality and aesthetic appeal. Every element has been designed with attention to detail, ensuring a harmonious blend of practicality and beauty.
Architectural Highlights:
- Rustic Rooflines: The steeply pitched roof, adorned with architectural-grade shingles, gives the Evergreen Model its signature charm while providing superior durability and weather protection. A secondary dormer adds depth and visual interest to the roofline while creating extra headroom and natural light inside.
- Exposed Wooden Accents: Complementing its rustic charm, the Evergreen Model features exposed wooden beams and trim that add a natural warmth to the exterior. The pergola-style overhang on the side windows serves as both a decorative and functional feature, providing shade and reducing solar heat gain.
- Textured Siding: The combination of smooth stucco and horizontal lap siding provides a visually appealing contrast while enhancing durability. This thoughtful pairing of textures offers a modern twist to the model’s classic aesthetic.
- Expansive Glass Doors: Large sliding glass doors connect the living space to the covered patio, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor flow. This architectural element not only enhances the visual connection to the outdoors but also invites natural light to flood the interior.
- Covered Patio: The generous covered patio is supported by robust wooden posts, designed to complement the rustic style while providing a sheltered space for outdoor activities. This architectural feature extends the livable area, making it ideal for entertaining or relaxing by the pool.
- Natural Color Palette: The exterior colors are inspired by nature, with neutral and earthy tones that allow the structure to blend seamlessly into its surroundings while maintaining its distinctive character.
- Energy-Efficient Windows: The model is equipped with strategically placed energy-efficient windows, including a row of clerestory windows on the upper level, which enhance ventilation and allow for additional daylighting without compromising privacy.
Interior Design with Architectural Continuity:
Inside, the Evergreen Model continues its theme of rustic elegance:
- Vaulted Ceilings: The high, vaulted ceilings create a sense of spaciousness, making the 625-square-foot layout feel significantly larger.
- Natural Wood Finishes: From the flooring to cabinetry, natural wood tones are used throughout, maintaining architectural cohesion with the exterior.
- Open Concept Layout: The living room, dining area, and kitchen are connected in an open-concept design, with clear sightlines that enhance the sense of space.
