east hollywood adu
What was once a cramped one bedroom ADU with a poorly thought out layout has been transformed into a bright and livable two bedroom that pays homage to the charm of the original 1920s home. From the soft pistachio wall color to the gleam of brass fixtures, every detail was chosen to honor its vintage character while creating modern comfort. By removing the clunky central staircase, we carved out space for generous closets, an element often absent from older designs. The patio was completely rebuilt to reveal a clear view of the Hollywood Sign, turning the home into both a retreat and a celebration of its historic roots.
