Homeowners share advice on building an accessory dwelling unit, or ADU, in Southern California. They cover planning, building, financing, construction and more.
Gail Otter’s ADU blends in with the other Craftsman homes in her Echo Park neighborhood. She rents out her front home and lives in the ADU in back.in place so that plumbing and landscaping are integrated early. “Shower and laundry grey water systems can irrigate your yard all year long, saving water and money,” Nakaya said.
Since ADUs can be built where dwellings once weren’t allowed, there is potentially “an outside impact on adjacent neighbors regarding privacy,” Bertram said. “I strongly suggest to clients that they consider and try to honor their neighbors’ privacy. This is where I think good design can have the most positive effect.
Consider the orientation of the sun to decrease the use of air conditioning and furnaces, advised Navarro. Large windows in large rooms facing south will absorb the sun’s heat and keep rooms warm in the winter, while a large overhang will help keep rooms cool in the summer. An abundance of natural light is essential for making small spaces feel larger. Navarro recommends using skylights or dome sun tunnels and maximizing window sizes for more light.Raised windows can maximize privacy and light.
Designed with aging parents in mind, this Atwater Village ADU features smooth concrete floors and an open floor plan and bathroom.
