BRONSON adu

Los Angeles, CA

This project turned a charming garage that had seen better days into a two story, two bedroom, 1.5 bath ADU. The lightly Craftsman style aligns with the historic main house bungalow and a more than 9ft bi-folding door opens onto the garden to embrace indoor outdoor living.

To maximize the space in the open plan of the ground floor, the area under the stairs is kept open for a dining nook or future desk. The large bookcase integrates with the staircase to playfully anchor that side of the house. The upstairs bathroom introduces a skylight to keep it light and bright in spite of its compact size.
