ADU in Eagle Rock - Los Angeles, CA
The newly built modern accessory dwelling unit (ADU) is a stunning example of contemporary architecture, highlighted by its striking butterfly roof. This distinctive design features two sloped sections that rise in the center, creating a dramatic and airy feel while allowing for ample natural light to flood the interior.
The exterior showcases a combination of natural materials, including sleek wood siding and large, energy-efficient windows that frame views of the surrounding landscape. The butterfly roof not only adds visual interest but also enhances rainwater collection and maximizes ventilation, contributing to the unit's eco-friendly design.
Inside, the open floor plan seamlessly integrates living, dining, and kitchen spaces, accentuated by high ceilings that enhance the sense of spaciousness. The interiors are adorned with minimalist finishes—smooth concrete floors, crisp white walls, and wooden accents—that create a warm yet modern atmosphere.
The kitchen features state-of-the-art appliances and a large island that doubles as a casual dining area. Thoughtful storage solutions, including built-in cabinets and shelving, help maintain a clean and uncluttered look.
A cozy living area with large windows invites relaxation, while the bedroom offers a private retreat, complete with an en-suite bathroom that boasts modern fixtures and a spa-like feel. The butterfly roof also allows for a loft space or additional skylights, making the most of vertical space and enhancing the unit's overall charm.
Outside, a small deck or patio extends the living space, perfect for enjoying the outdoors, and is surrounded by landscaping that complements the natural setting. This modern ADU stands as a perfect blend of style, sustainability, and functionality, ideal for a variety of uses, from guest accommodation to a creative workspace.
