The tub in the primary bath is by Agape with a faucet from Watermark.

In the primary bath, cedar wall paneling complements an oak vanity with a custom concrete sink and counter. The floors are slate tiles by Cle.

In keeping with the project's eco ethos, lime plaster and clay paint were used to finish the walls.

Tucked into the back corner of a Germantown property in Nashville, this 470-square-foot DADU is small in size, but full of personality.

Yung also made a custom platform bed for one of the other bedrooms in the home.

The bed now sits under one of Yung's artworks and a light fixture he designed and constructed.

The tiles on the backsplash and accent wall in the kitchen were laid by Yung himself—a true labor of love, much like the entire project.

The architects maintained the midcentury post-and-beam construction and Japanese-inspired details of the original building, while brightening and expanding the interior living spaces. Patricia Urquiola’s Tufty-Time sofa for B&B Italia meets Pebble coffee tables by Nathan Yong for Ligne Roset in the living room.

The dining room and the living room, though occupying the extension and the original part of the house, respectively, read as one L-shaped great room along with the kitchen.

The douglas fir ceilings and terrazzo flooring underwent treatment to bring them back to their original condition.

The home's extra tall, 12-foot ceilings allow for huge windows facing a canal off the San Francisco Bay.

“We love the way the hand-made fabric brings a kind of handcrafted feel into the space, while the natural materials fit beautifully with the wooden surfaces,

“The curtain allows the space to be opened up or closed off in all kinds of different ways, and gives it more warmth and better sound-proofing,” says Vibeke.

The new wooden staircase is steeper and therefore shorter and, as a result, doesn't create such a large a barrier between kitchen and living room.
