At the foot of Mt. Tam in Fairfax, this new ground-up construction serves as the client’s art and pilates studio.  A close collaboration between architect, client, and builder produced a stunning, meticulously detailed space.  The 740 square foot ADU features radiant heating, exposed whitewashed fir framing and paneling, yellow powder-coated windows, and a zinc countertop.
