A couple in Northeast Los Angeles faced unexpectedly high costs when building a modest ADU on their property, with expenses nearly doubling from their initial estimate. Designed by architects FreelandBuck, the 400-square-foot studio replaced their garage and features high ceilings, strategic windows, and terraced decks, creating an airy, private space with views of Los Angeles. The project’s price increase was largely due to COVID-19-related supply chain issues and rising material prices, prompting the couple to undertake some manual work to reduce costs. Despite the expense, the ADU offers flexibility for living, working, or rental income, with personalized touches and thoughtful design complementing their home.
