Above-Garage ADU in San Pedro, CA

This above-garage ADU in San Pedro puts living space on the second floor of a new two-story building, above a pair of garage doors at the back of a concrete driveway. A steel stair with black railings runs up the outside to a balcony walkway along the upper floor, and the utility meters are tucked under the stair.

Inside, the rooms have vaulted ceilings, wood-look plank floors and white walls, with a wall-mounted mini-split in each room. The kitchen has white shaker cabinets with black pulls, a stainless refrigerator and microwave, and a range. Front doors are white Craftsman style with small glass panes. One bathroom has a glass-enclosed shower in white tile with black fixtures, and closets use louvered doors.

For owners with a tight lot, an above-garage ADU like this one keeps the parking and adds a home on top. See the photo gallery below for the full set of interior and exterior shots.
