Project Description

This project involves the design and development of a new 960-square-foot Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) located at 1230 Palm Avenue in Contra Costa County, California. The architectural plans illustrate a fully self-contained residential unit featuring three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a kitchen, dining area, living space, and utility closet, as shown in the ground floor plan.

The site plan outlines property boundaries, required setbacks, and the building footprint, ensuring compliance with local zoning and planning regulations. The project has been reviewed and approved for planning by Contra Costa County, as indicated by the approval stamps found throughout the plan set.

The construction documents form a comprehensive package that includes architectural layouts, structural framing plans, plumbing diagrams, electrical layouts, roof details, elevations, and Title 24 energy compliance information. Structural sheets provide foundation details, floor and roof framing specifications, and shear wall requirements, ensuring the ADU meets all applicable seismic and life-safety standards.

Mechanical, electrical, and plumbing drawings feature fully coordinated system layouts, including lighting circuits, power distribution, sewer connections, and hot-/cold-water piping. This ADU is engineered to meet modern California residential standards, provide long-term durability, and deliver efficient and comfortable living accommodations within a compact footprint.
