Silver Lake & Echo Park ADUs
Hillside lots offer opportunities for garage-level ADUs with views. Modern, minimalist designs complement the area's architectural heritage. Creative, artist-friendly layouts reflect the community.
San Fernando Valley ADUs
Larger lots in the Valley accommodate detached ADUs. Ranch-style main homes pair well with modern accessory units. Backyard placement maintains privacy for both units.
