Roberts Street (Virtual Tour) // M Gooden Design

Five House is an accessory dwelling that embraces the historic midcentury modern main residence on the property, originally built in 1949. The two structures are connected by entertainment decks and a linear pool. The living room and kitchen open directly onto the pool terrace, providing a cabana-like experience. Operable louvers and shades can be used to create a more private experience. 

The pitched ceilings and clerestory windows create an open and comfortable experience. Simplicity of form, complementary proportions, and planning efficiency were primary objectives for the design concept. The dwelling is designed on a strict five-foot planning grid, which is how its name was derived: Five House.
