Located in Solano Canyon next to downtown Los Angeles, the two bedroom, one bath house (ADU) frames the natural surroundings and creates a cabin like space that is contemporary but also warm and intimate. The ceiling, made of clear douglas fir, emphasizes the linearity of the house and helps make the house feel bigger as well as cozy.

An expansive window makes this modern sitting room an inviting space to sit, sip and take in the view while relaxing in a pair of recliners with walnut stained frames and olive leather. Opposite the recliners is a tufted back sofa upholstered in chocolate linen and accented with copper suede pillows. Standing beside the sofa is a wood floor lamp with ivory shade. A bronze metal cocktail table is paired with a metal side table whose glass shelves host an assortment of bronze and gold accessories. Contemporary artwork in shades of green, aqua and orange play off the amber tones of the Persian rug covering the oak floor. The ivory walls and ceiling are accented by honey stained alder trim.

What is an ADU: Accessory Dwelling Units:
An accessory dwelling unit, usually just called an ADU, is a secondary housing unit on a single-family residential lot. The term “accessory dwelling unit” is a institutional-sounding name, but it’s the most commonly-used term across the country to describe this type of housing. While the full name is a mouthful, the shorthand “ADU” is better.
ADUs vary in their physical form quite a bit, as there are detached ADU, attached ADU, second story ADU (above garage or work shop), addition ADU, internal ADU.
IMPORTANT:
There’s simply too few permitted ADUs to make a real difference in the housing stock. But, even if they aren’t going to solve all a city’s problems, they may help homeowners solve some of their problems. The most common motivation for ADU development is rental income potential, followed by the prospect of flexible living space for multigenerational households.
