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.

Participants will examine how the redesign preserves the architectural integrity of the original structure while incorporating modern interventions inspired by the urban and industrial surroundings. Key topics include designing for multigenerational living\, integrating sustainable and cost-conscious strategies\, and maintaining a strong connection to community and place. Special emphasis is placed on design decisions that enhance occupant health\, safety\, and welfare\, ensuring long-term comfort\, accessibility\, and sustainability. \n\n\n\nLearning objectives:\n\n\n\n\nMultigenerational Design Strategies for Health and Accessibility – Analyze how architectural solutions can accommodate multigenerational living while ensuring safety\, accessibility\, and well-being through features such as universal design\, aging-in-place strategies\, and shared spaces that support social interaction and mental health.\n\n\n\nContextual Adaptation and Historic Preservation for Community Welfare – Evaluate how modifications to historic homes can respect original architectural character while enhancing occupant safety\, structural integrity\, and energy efficiency to improve long-term habitability and resilience.\n\n\n\nSustainable and Cost-Conscious Material Selections for Occupant Health – Identify material choices and energy-efficient strategies that contribute to indoor air quality\, thermal comfort\, and low-maintenance durability\, thereby enhancing the long-term health and safety of residents.\n\n\n\nMaximizing Natural Light and Space Efficiency for Well-Being – Assess the role of spatial planning\, ceiling heights\, glazing strategies\, and outdoor connections in creating an open\, light-filled home that supports circadian rhythms\, mental well-being\, and improved indoor air quality.\n\n\n\n\nBy the end of this course\, participants will have gained insights into how thoughtful design can bridge past and future while prioritizing occupant health\, safety\, and welfare.

It is a solution that reduces water aging\, delivers hot water faster\, generates significant construction cost savings\, reduces the carbon footprint of the structure\, and subsequently saves on water- and water heating-related utility bills for the entire life of the plumbing system. Effective July 1\, 2024\, the WDC became part of the California Plumbing Code (as Appendix M). Instead of using flow rates and flush volumes from the 1940s\, the WDC will allow plumbing designers to “right-size” the cold and hot water distribution systems in homes and apartment buildings using modern information about flow rates and simultaneous use. \n\n\n\nLearning Objectives: \n\n\n\n\nDifferentiate the conditions that existed for the “default” water supply demand sizing method from the conditions that are incorporated into the Water Demand Calculator (WDC) when selecting a method for sizing peak water demand.\n\n\n\nDescribe the savings in cost\, water\, energy\, and carbon emissions achieved by using the WDC in the plumbing design of a multifamily building\n\n\n\nSummarize the reduced public health and safety risk as well as water quality benefit of plumbing systems designed using the WDC when justifying the use of the WDC.\n\n\n\nLocate instructional resources for using the WDC in the plumbing designs of upcoming projects.\n\n\n\n\nSpeaker: \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGary Klein\, President of Gary Klein & Associates has been intimately involved in energy efficiency and renewable energy since 1974. Mr. Klein has a passion for hot water: getting into it\, getting out of it and efficiently delivering it to meet customers’ needs. He works to simplify building codes and to get architects and builders to use plumbing systems that\, by their design\, deliver hot water quickly and with minimal waste. \n\n\n\nAfter serving 19 years with the California Energy Commission\, he has provided consulting on sustainability since 2008. Mr. Klein received a BA from Cornell University in 1975 with an Independent Major in Technology and Society with an emphasis on energy conservation and renewable energy.
