L.A. architects making the case for communal living built a tiny ADU above their garage. Design choices make the most of 300 square feet with soaring ceilings and inventive storage.
The ADU above the garage has all the elements you would expect from a pair of architects: Arresting geometry on a narrow lot, a spare kitchenette graced with inventive storage, soaring ceilings and strategically placed aluminum windows to ensure privacy. It's all well thought out, and it's in the architects Jefferson Schierbeek and Su Addison's backyard. The couple purchased their 1962 Mar Vista home in 1999 for $360,000 when their two children, now 26 and 29, were young.
South-facing windows oriented to the sun allow the studio to stay warm in the winter and cool in the summer, and drapes outside the front door can be closed for further privacy if anyone wants to sit in the patio chair on the tiny stoop. The second story's exterior is clad in environmentally friendly fiber-cement boards and mirrors the contemporary shape of the street-facing house.
