From Backyard to Private Oasis in Danville

Scope of work

• Construction of a detached accessory dwelling unit (ADU)
• Design collaboration with client’s architectural team
• Build-out of an open-air entertainment pavilion
• Integration of outdoor living, cooking, and media features
• Seamless connection between pool area, ADU, and entertainment zones

‍

Key challenges

• Maximizing usability of an already hardscaped backyard without overcrowding the space
• Blending new structures with the existing home and pool
• Balancing private ADU use with open entertainment areas
• Ensuring smooth traffic flow between pool, ADU, and pavilion

What was once a simple poolside backyard is now a dynamic outdoor living environment designed for both everyday use and large gatherings. The new ADU provides flexible living space for guests, while the pavilion serves as a true entertainment hub—complete with cooking, dining, and lounging areas.
