USC STUDIO GEM


this Homeowner permitted the currently unpermitted unit to a beautiful ADU for continued rental income, and He couldn’t be happier with how it turned out! walk through the inviting patio area that is surrounded by lush vegetation for privacy, and covered with a sun shade sail to stay cool during the hot summer days. the front french doors will lead you into the space, and you will notice a lot of natural light is let in through these doors and sidelight window that expand depth of vision to the outdoor patio. inside you will find an open floor concept with white paint, light vinyl plank flooring and mirrored closet doors to let light become a part of the whole space which creates a pleasant and airy atmosphere.
