She wanted more than a guesthouse for her sister. This tiny ADU in L.A. delivers
LA TimesBridget Bousa knew from the start that she wanted a functional home and not just a temporary guest house when she added an accessory dwelling unit, or ADU, in her backyard. Shortly after reading an article about an ADU in Elysian Park that was designed by architects Bo Sundius and Hisako Ichiki for Sundius’ parents, Bousa reached out to the couple regarding one of four predesigned ADU options offered by their architecture firm Bunch Design. “Clerestory windows always offer a surprise,” Ichiki said as she pointed to the palm trees and clouds — and the main home’s pitched roofline — visible through the high, narrow windows atop the walls of the ADU. These are simple things that anyone can do to improve their living situation.” As is evident with Bousa’s house, an ADU is also a way to bring together family and build community. It makes me feel like I can live here for a long time.” Bousa asked Bunch Design for more storage to make the ADU more livable.
