Here Are 16 of the Best ADUs in Los Angeles

The goal was to make the 750-square-foot ADU in Los Angeles’s Atwater Village seem larger than it actually is. "In particular, we pictured that moment when David Byrne walks out in the big suit and starts shimmying across the stage, and the fabric of his suit is completely separate from the frame of his body." In the same way Byrne’s jumbo suit enlarges his frame, Sundius and Ichiki installed angled clerestory windows that create a sense of detachment between the walls and ceiling of the ADU. "Space inside a home is perceived as the way walls meet other walls, a ceiling, and a floor," Sundius says. "Blurring the way these elements come together can make something small feel huge."
