A pink-painted front door and fascia enliven this backyard ADU in Mountain View, California, designed by Melissa Shin of Shin Shin Architecture. To help control cost, the architect kept the exterior simple, employing white stucco walls for $11,400 and an asphalt-shingle roof (with gutters and site drainage) for $7,000.
