There are certain things you can expect from an accessory dwelling unit, or ADU. A small floor plan (300 square feet is not unusual). A bedroom and a bathroom. Lots of skylights to bring in the sun and open up the interior.
An ADU might be used as a guesthouse for friends and family, an office for working remotely, a music room, pool house or gym.
But for lawyer Navine Karim and his wife, Samantha, who is a designer, the 600-square-foot ADU behind their Mid-Wilshire home is a multifunctional dwelling that incorporates all of these things.
