The two-bedroom ADU features built-ins in every room

In the evenings, Alice sometimes joins her family for dinner in the main house and other times, she prefers a quiet evening alone.

The thermally treated ash deck will patina and become a silvery grey tone that blends with the tree trunks in the backyard.

Alice, the mother and grandmother, enjoys morning coffee on the deck with her daughter Claudia, who lives in the main house with her husband and two sons.

Fruit trees, a hedge, a vegetable garden, and a chicken coop are situated between the main house and the ADU, helping to provide a feeling of privacy.

The open-plan kitchen, dining, and living areas are washed in sunlight that streams in through floor-to-ceiling windows and doors.

The company customized a floor plan for the ADU that would accommodate and incorporate existing fruit trees in the yard.

The 900-square-foot prefabricated backyard ADU in Los Angeles, California, that Cover designed to bring a family closer together features bright white composite exterior siding and a deck made from thermally treated ash.
