LAKEWOOD ADU AND GARAGE

Counter Culture Studio is proud to introduce the “Lakewood ADU & Garage,” a project that redefines compact luxury living within the city’s constraints. The 750 square foot ADU, designed with a keen eye for detail, features one bedroom, one bathroom, an office, and a loft, all under a duo of intersecting shed roofs that create a sense of grandeur with their vaulted spaces. The entrance leads into a full-sized kitchen with a breakfast bar that flows into a double-height living room, where the ceiling soars, drawing the gaze to the generous light and sense of openness. The design ensures that no space feels compromised; instead, each area is intentional and welcoming, from the kitchen to the loft.

Sustainability is woven into the fabric of this design, with the ADU achieving net-zero energy use, consuming 80% less energy than standard units. Cross ventilation is optimized through strategically placed windows, and high windows with electronic operation expel heat, maintaining a comfortable climate. The south-facing roof is prepped for solar panels, promising to offset the minimal energy required. The accompanying garage, with its large shed roof, echoes the ADU’s design, providing a cohesive look across the property. This project stands as a beacon of Counter Culture Studio’s commitment to creating spaces that are not only environmentally conscious but also exude modern elegance and practicality.
