An accessory dwelling unit on Brazil Avenue, permitted through SF Planning and DBI. The unit is carved into the ground floor of an existing building rather than added to it, so most of the design work is in making a code-compliant dwelling out of a footprint that was never meant to be one.
The set carries the natural light and ventilation calculations per unit, the fixture and power layouts, Title 24 compliance and a new sidewalk landscape strip with a street tree.
[ Site plan — existing above, proposed below, with the new sidewalk landscape and street tree ]

[ South-west elevation — existing above, proposed below ]
[ Door and window schedules with typical head, jamb and sill details ]
