Pool House in San Carlos

This 700 square-foot Pool House in San Carlos, California is a beautifully designed one-bedroom Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) crafted to complement a backyard lifestyle centered around outdoor living and relaxation.

Unlike a traditional ADU that primarily serves as a residential rental, this Pool House was created with a multifunctional purpose: to enhance poolside experiences and offer versatile living space just steps from the pool. Its configuration provides both comfort and convenience, making it ideal for guests, family, or as a private retreat.

With thoughtful planning tailored to its setting, the design integrates the living environment with outdoor amenity areas — maximizing both functionality and aesthetics. As a standalone structure, it adds usable living space to the property while blending seamlessly with the surrounding landscape and existing architecture.

This project reflects SFBay ADU’s commitment to creating custom backyard structures that balance practical needs with elevated design, enhancing how homeowners enjoy their outdoor spaces and the added value of a secondary dwelling.
