YEAR 2 DESIGN Los Angeles Accessory Dwelling Unit

ARC 201 – Architectural Design 1

This ADU is a modern example of a unit specifically designed for Los Angeles. The prompt for this project was to design an ADU using the existing 2-car garage on-site, and to give both residences their own private designated outdoor spaces.

In this project, I wanted to begin by developing my own unique design language that I would later incorporate into future projects as well. For this particular project, I incorporated aspects of design typically found in Japan, and I infused it with a touch of modernity in the way of strong angles found throughout the design of the accessory dwelling unit.
