For many years, homeowners Reggie Vinokur and Matthew Deters discussed the possibility of adding an ADU to the backyard of their Los Angeles home. By 2017, that goal was complete, thanks to a collaboration with their close friend, architect Hunter Knight of Weather Projects. The 1000-square-foot ADU is two levels with a footprint that allows the owners to retain plenty of outdoor space for their dogs to play. The façade "is a rain screen system, so the heat gain on the Brazilian hardwood is minimized," said Knight.
