El Cerrito ADU Under Construction

We’re getting close to finishing up the Accessory Dwelling Unit project in El Cerrito!  We’re adding a 650 square foot one-bedroom apartment to an almost daylight basement.  The aparment is almost complete and will be ready for occupancy within the next few weeks.  It was imperative to the owner that the space not feel small and dark.  We installed lots of windows and a big sliding glass door.  A sunken terrace will be installed to provide exterior space at the same level as the apartment.  Stay tuned for the completion photos!

Temescal Square nears Completion

RADesignBuild Co. has been busy!  We currently have three projects under construction and a few others at various stages.  The Temescal Project has been under construction for quite a while.  The structures are basically complete and now landscaping is going in.  We hope to have the space usable within a few weeks.  We did both the overall site planning and the design of the two structures that were added.  The location of the structures are shown in grey and appear at the top of the site plan.  The drawing below displays the overall landscape plan and the site lines across the Campo from the end of the alley.  The two small structures shown in the photos will serve utility functions at this point.  The larger of the two includes an accessible restroom for the use of visitors.

An ADA restroom and office space occupy the structure shown in the top photo.  The use of the second structure is still undefined.
