The Main House, Taken Back to the Frame
The house got a primary suite room addition, a custom kitchen, and two remodeled bathrooms. On the outside it was all new stucco and a torch down roof, with Milgard windows and doors throughout.
160 Square Feet, Approved as a Full ADU
The garage was the part everyone had questions about. At 160 square feet and built for a single car, it was small even by ADU standards. It went through approval and was completed as a full ADU, with a compact kitchen and a bathroom added underneath the existing house.
Two Permits, One Timeline
Running a whole home remodel and an ADU conversion on the same lot at the same time is mostly a sequencing problem. Doing them together meant one round of disruption for the owners instead of two, and one crew who already knew the property.
Thinking About the Same Thing?
If you have a small garage in Silver Lake and you have been told it is too small to convert, it is worth a second opinion.
