From design to built

A Spanish revival ADU where the arches, beams and green kitchen came home

8/10 likeness to the winning design

The built ADU keeps the heart of the winning design: dark wood beams across a white ceiling, green shaker cabinets under fluted-glass uppers, a farmhouse sink under the window, and the pair of arched niches, one green-paneled and one a wood bookcase with drawers below. A recessed fridge with a wood cabinet above and an arched TV niche also made it through almost exactly. The furniture and some finishes took their own turn: a freestanding wood dining table in place of the bar-height island, a stainless fridge, a shimmering tile backsplash and a more varied, rustic hexagon floor.

What was kept

Dark wood ceiling beams with recessed lights between them, as in the renders
Green shaker lower cabinets with fluted-glass upper cabinets in a soft olive tone
Farmhouse apron sink beneath a black-framed window
The two arched wall niches: a green vertical-board niche over wood drawers, and an arched wood bookcase with drawers below
Recessed fridge alcove with a wood-fronted cabinet and brass pull above
Arched TV niche with a ledge below beside the fridge
Arched passage to a dark wood door, and the warm terracotta hexagon floor
White plaster walls with framed decor flanking the niches
Cream sofa facing the living zone with a wood coffee table

What changed

The bar-height island with stools became a freestanding rustic wood dining table with four chairs
The cream retro fridge became a stainless one
A tall white range hood and an iridescent zellige-style tile backsplash were added
The hexagon tile reads as a multi-toned, rustic mix rather than a uniform terracotta
The TV niche ledge is dark stone rather than a wood drawer front
Wall art became Moorish-style carved panels instead of fish prints; pendant lights over the table aren't visible
The living area gained a large picture window and an arched plank front door; the wall bench isn't visible in the photos

Highlights

The twin arched niches, green and wood, are almost a mirror of the render and anchor the whole room
The dark beams running across the bright ceiling give the 10-foot space real 1930s character
Green cabinets with fluted-glass uppers against the shimmering backsplash
The fridge wall, with its wood cabinet and arched TV niche, reads just as designed
The rustic hex floor ties kitchen and living together with warmth
