Instructor: Yasushi Ishida

This project is to research the potential of box system Pre-Fab ADU in order to deal with the housing crisis in Los Angeles. Each house consists of a functional part with a specific size to meet the requirements of transportation and reduce transportation costs and reduce structural unreasonable design.

Each box can have different layout, for example, the bedroom leaves 2 ft space on the four sides of the wall, so that you can place tables and wardrobes according to your own preferences. The number of functional parts can be increased regularly according to the increase of the living size of the user. For the design, the use of a long beam system gives the ADU a larger opening, so that the occupants can have better contact with nature.
