Accessory dwelling units, or ADUs, are a way for homeowners to maintain their existing house and create new living quarters on their property. Whether they choose to use it as a guest house, a long term rental, or additional entertainment space, the rise in ADUs have turned them into a statewide phenomenon.

This ADU, located in the back portion of a Manhattan Beach property, occupies a 40' x 15' footprint. Efficient, elegant, and flexible it will be used as a guest house, indoor-outdoor entertainment space and a possible rental unit in the future. The design nods to the Mid-Century masterpieces in a compact form. Stack back the glass doors, let the Southern California sunshine and ocean breeze pour in, enjoy a drink!
