ADU on a Multi-Family Lot - Beverly Hills, CA
This new accessory dwelling unit was designed and built on a multi‑family lot in Beverly Hills, positioned behind an existing duplex to maximize underutilized space while preserving the character of the property. The project introduces a two‑bedroom, two-bathroom ADU thoughtfully placed above a three‑car garage, creating a compact, efficient footprint that supports both housing needs and on‑site parking requirements.
Conceived for a small developer as a long‑term rental asset, the ADU balances the functionality of a clean, contemporary aesthetic with the historic nature of the neighborhood. The upper‑level residence features an open living layout, abundant natural light, and carefully scaled massing that integrates seamlessly with the existing structure on the lot. The garage below provides dedicated off-street parking for both the main duplex and the new unit, which is a highly-prized amenity.
This project demonstrates how strategic infill development can expand housing opportunities within established neighborhoods, delivering a high‑quality rental unit while respecting local context and zoning constraints. It reflects a practical, design‑forward approach to ADU construction in dense urban environments.
