Our clients approached us about turning their existing garage into a pool house. They wanted two main things: to be able to see through to the backyard and a roof that’s optimized for a Tesla Solar Roof (aka those really cool solar “tiles” that act as shingles).
To achieve this, the ridge of the main roof runs north-south for all day solar exposure while opening up the south-west corner of the ADU. The roof also features a dramatic overhang that shades the windows from the hot summer months.
