This project transforms a standard city lot previously occupied by a single-family home and a two-car garage
into a compact complex with two main dwelling units and two accessory dwelling units (ADUs), comprising a total of 4,600
square feet.
To preserve the neighborhood's character, the existing native landscaping and a prominent tree are retained, and
all proposed concrete is permeable. The property owner, a regular homeowner rather than a developer, faced the challenge of achieving an attractive yet budget-friendly design. The most cost-effective solution was a boxy, stacked layout. To avoid a monotonous stucco box, the design incorporates two different materials: composite wood on the upper floor and smooth plaster on the ground level, which visually softens the structure's proportions. Varied parapet heights contribute to a distinctive building silhouette, despite its straightforward box shape with a flat roof.
This design promotes gentle density as a feasible and attractive strategy, enabling homeowners to take an active role in developing their properties. By leveraging SB9, the project increases density subtly within the existing zoning framework, serving as an example of sustainable urban development that addresses the housing shortage in Los Angeles.
