This 800 SF detached ADU sits within the historic Old Town Orange district and houses two bedrooms and two bathrooms. The design draws on the early-twentieth-century architectural language of its surroundings, integrating seamlessly with the neighborhood and reinforcing its historical significance.
As the designer and project manager, I drafted the client–architect agreement, defined the project scope, and guided the work through the city corrections and permitting process. Much of the effort centered on balancing the budget while preserving the historic character the district demanded.
