The new main house takes its inspiration from Catalan modernism and the ADU is a mini-me version, filled with a high/low mix of solutions for small-space living. Join us for a tour.

Above: The 400-square-foot structure in West Adam, near Culver City, occupies what had been a derelict one-car garage (the sofa wall is what was preserved of the 1930s original). It stands alongside a pool, and has an all-in-one living area at one end (scroll down to see the floor plan). The herringbone floor is composed of brick tile from Arto, a longstanding local business. The archways and mix of warm oak and pale concrete echo the detailing in the main house.
Above: The custom kitchen has rift-sawn oak cabinets set in a framework finished in Concretta, a concrete plaster or microcement also used on the island, which as a Fisher & Paykel induction cooktop. The Jeanneret-style Round Counter Stools are on sale for $250 each from France&Son.
Above: The dishwasher and fridge door panels have Massey Appliance Pulls in aged brass from Rejuvenation.
Above: The CB2 dining bench has under-seat storage. The throw pillows and leather-topped Jack Stool are from Lostine. The vintage Murano glass pendant light was found on Etsy.
Above: The French door entry opens off a side yard. The sofa and coffee table are from Urban Outfitters.
Above: The bathroom is situated off the kitchen—and a few steps from the bedroom.
Above: The compact bath is wallpapered in Milton & King’s Cactus pattern. The sink has a mirrored vanity, Henry marble-topped basin and Ludlow faucet, all from Waterworks.
Above: The small bedroom overlooks the pool. The Cove Canopy Bed was sourced from DWR, where it’s currently on sale for $1,922.50, down from $3,845. The hanging light is the Sardinia Plaster Chandelier from Crate & Barrel.
Floor Plan
Above: Allprace constructed the 400-square-foot ADU from what had been the garage, and was able to fit in complete living—or lounging—quarters.
