SUMMARY:The Bend House: A Case Study in ADU Integration and Innovative Residential Design
DESCRIPTION:A Coastal CRAN tour + presentation\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nBuy Tickets on Eventbrite\n\nBuy Tickets\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n1.0 AIA LU/HSW  \n\n\n\nDescription:\n\n\n\nJoin us for a guided tour and discussion at The Bend House\, a newly completed residential project in Torrance that features a fully reimagined main home and a newly constructed ADU (Accessory Dwelling Unit) situated in the front yard – novel and intentional design decision. Located on a corner lot\, this project creatively explores the relationship between site conditions and architectural expression\, with playful nods to the concept of “bending” through the use of half arches and curved forms inside and out. \n\n\n\nDesigned to clearly delineate between new construction and remodeled spaces through materiality and color\, this project showcases a thoughtful integration of architecture\, interior design\, and landscape collaboration. Attendees will hear from the design team about the project’s conception\, design challenges\, and the potential of ADUs to improve housing accessibility and sustainability in the South Bay. Whether you’re designing for added square footage\, potential rental income\, or multi-generational living\, this program will provide practical strategies and inspiration for incorporating ADUs into residential design. \n\n\n\nLearning objectives:\n\n\n\n\nExplore how site characteristics—such as a corner lot—influence design choices that enhance livability\, access to daylight\, and neighborhood engagement.\n\n\n\nDescribe the planning\, design\, and construction phases involved in integrating an ADU with an existing home\, including key code considerations\, spatial planning\, and coordination with city requirements.\n\n\n\nExamine strategies for clearly delineating new construction from remodeled spaces to support intuitive wayfinding\, functional layout\, and long-term adaptability of the home.\n\n\n\nDiscuss the financial\, social\, and environmental benefits of incorporating an ADU into residential projects\, including increased housing flexibility\, rental potential\, and support for multi-generational living.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPresenter:\n\n\n\nAsia Zdziarska\, AIA\, archemy.LA\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCoastal CRAN (Custom Residential Architects Network) is a knowledge community of the AIA Long Beach / South Bay \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSPONSOR THIS PROGRAM \n\n\n\nSupport an AIA LBSB program that advances our profession and increases visibility for your organization.
