BIG CIRCLE ADU

Big Circle ADU, a distant cousin to Lean-to ADU

references all-American lean-to sheds while also reinterpreting two Los Angeles architectural mainstays: the stucco box and the exaggerated false front. At its core, Lean-to ADU offers a flexible, affordable program. Designed to meet city building codes and achieve ample daylight and cross-ventilation no matter its orientation, the 515-sf home with 125-sf roof terrace can rotate to accommodate diverse lots and landscapes and is constructed from standard building materials and construction techniques that can be easily adapted.
