In this proposal a long masonry planter creates a soft barrier between the alley and the ADU. This provides a level of privacy and sepparation with out the unit completely turning it’s back to the alley. A shaded canopy indicates the entrance and carries around the corner to the private terrace and outdoor fireplace, a relaxing spot to spend an evening.  The roof drains into the planter, passively maintaining the native plants.
