A street-facing ADU presents a sculptural façade, bringing intrigue to a quiet Altadena neighborhood. Its expressive sloped partition wall with a large circular opening, at once, conceals and reveals what's beyond the parapet. Designed by principal architect Mike Wang of Cover Architecture, the 620 sf dwelling is a place for his mother, Pei and her partner, Dan—both former professors, to enjoy their retirement while living in proximity to Mike and his young family who reside in the primary house on site.
