Sherman Oaks Compact ADU Conversion
Sherman Oaks, Los Angeles, California
Project Overview
What began as an underused detached garage is now a fully self-contained accessory dwelling unit—perfect for multigenerational living, long-term guests, or steady rental income. Our team maximized every square inch, layering modern conveniences into a bright, neutral envelope. Inside, a full chef-ready kitchen, in-unit laundry, and spa-inspired bath make the small footprint live large; outside, a custom slat-wood enclosure and pergola carve out a private courtyard—the ADU's own outdoor room beneath the California sun. Energy-efficient systems and durable, low-maintenance finishes ensure this petite retreat remains comfortable and cost-effective for years to come.
