Before
The backyard at Ternpark Terrace was an open, unused space with no clear purpose. With aging parents in mind, the homeowners saw an opportunity to turn it into a connected living area that provided comfort, independence, and security while blending with the main home.
The Challenge
“We want to be close — but still give them their own space.”
The clients wanted to build an on-property residence for aging parents — one that offered privacy, independence, and dignity while maintaining visual and structural consistency with the main house. The design also had to meet HOA rules and appear as if the addition had always been part of the original build.
The ADU needed to be fully powered, heated, and cooled independently, with thoughtful integration and minimal disruption to the existing home and landscape.

The Design
We leaned into clean lines, natural textures, and subtle contrast throughout the home.
Key design features included:
- A full kitchen and two bathrooms
- Spacious bedroom with private views
- Covered walk-through connection to the main home
- Exterior materials matched to blend seamlessly with the original house
The Build
The build followed a traditional residential workflow — grading, block work, framing, rough-ins, and full interior finish-out. Every detail, from rooflines to window trims, was matched to make the ADU feel like it had always been there. Independent HVAC and electrical systems were installed to allow the unit to function on its own.
Build Highlights Included:
- Custom cabana roof framing
- In-wall speaker concealment
- Full spa system integration
- Pool rebuild and outdoor kitchen construction
The Results
The finished space is stunning — a fully functional private residence perfect for in-laws, long-term guests, or even future rental income.
ADUs like this add tremendous value to a property by increasing heated and cooled square footage — a key driver in appraisals — while solving real-life needs for families. With demand for ADUs rising, Ternpark Terrace stands out as a smart, versatile investment for years to come.
