Detached ADU & Garage Conversion JADU
Construction continues to move forward at 1427 Phillips Street, where Fortune Design & Permits is helping transform the property with the addition of a detached Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) and the conversion of an existing garage into a Junior Accessory Dwelling Unit (JADU).
As with many successful ADU projects, this development comes with its own unique challenges. One of the primary considerations for this property has been the site’s existing topography. The varying elevations and lot conditions required careful planning, coordination, and engineering to ensure the new structures integrate seamlessly with the property while maintaining safety and code compliance.
To address these challenges, our team developed a retaining wall solution designed to support the site conditions and maximize the usable space available for the detached ADU. This approach not only enhances the functionality of the property but also ensures the project meets all necessary structural and engineering requirements.
Project Highlights
- Construction of one detached ADU
- Conversion of existing garage into a JADU
- Custom engineering solutions for challenging site conditions
