Los Angeles, CA
64th Street ADU sits in the backyard of the homeowner’s childhood home, as the existing front house is already rented to a Section 8 tenant.

With the goal of designing and renting this ADU to house another family with a voucher, a main goal of the project was to express the joy of living in a childhood home and sharing that joy with others.



ADU Exterior Design and Floor Plan



The interiors are soft pastels with classic ceramic lightbulb fixtures.

Linoleum floors and soft wood cabinets create a different world that is calm, welcoming, and serene.



ADU Front Exterior


An integrated front porch serves as a threshold and an informal exterior dining area, referencing the layout of historic spanish style housing

A large abstracted and flattened column denotes the entry area while also framing the porch.
