Caldwell
Oakland, California
Situated at the base of an Oakland hillside home, this backyard ADU functions as a remote working office, guesthouse, and entertaining area for a young, growing family. What was once an underutilized part of the yard is now a vibrant, versatile annex space.
The property is in a Wildfire and Wildland Urban Interface zone, so the structure is built with Type Five’s fireproof material package. With our signature large, fully operable windows and glazed French doors, the interior is bright with natural light.

Fire-resistant Hardie cement board siding is custom painted to complement the forest green metal standing seam roof, along with the interior walls which are a light sage green.
