Located behind a 1949 bungalow, the newly designed accessory dwelling unit (ADU) in Venice by ARA-la Studio and James Garvan embodies a fun yet minimalist approach. Designed for friends Will Burroughs and Frith Dabkowski, the 1,020-square-foot structure serves as a guest suite, creative workspace, and storage hub for an active lifestyle. The exterior presents a geometric silhouette enhanced by playful elements like arched details. Inside, practical built-ins maintain an efficient use of space while reflecting the coastal California vibe, featuring a cohesive color palette and thoughtful design to harmonize with their original home.
The ADU serves multiple roles—guest suite, workspace, and storage—reflecting a growing trend in urban living where space efficiency is key to modern lifestyles.
Grounded in California's coast, this ADU beautifully marries minimalism with a playful spirit, showcasing a design that embraces both functionality and aesthetic appeal.
