Before and after comparison
Project overview
A ground-up 700 sq. ft. detached ADU built in the backyard of a residential property in Encino, Los Angeles. The modern unit features a flat roof, 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, an open-concept living area, and clean contemporary finishes designed to complement the existing home.
A ground-up detached build rather than a conversion, which is the other main route to an ADU and the one that gives you the most freedom over layout: nothing about the design is inherited from a structure that already exists.
Scope of work
- Finished ADU: 700 sq ft
- Build type: Ground-up detached
- Bedrooms: 2
- Bathrooms: 1
- Roof: Flat
Why it matters
At 700 square feet with two bedrooms and a single bathroom, this is close to the size most homeowners have in mind when they picture a backyard unit. The flat roof and the contemporary detailing were chosen to sit alongside the existing house rather than imitate it.
If you are comparing a new build against converting your garage, this and the Avenida project are the two ends of that comparison.
Outcome
A ground-up 700 sq ft detached ADU in an Encino backyard: flat roof, two bedrooms, one bathroom, an open-concept living area and contemporary finishes.

Homeowner feedback
A Google review from a homeowner describing the same kind of work. It is not presented as a review of this project.
“I had an amazing experience working with Erfan on my ADU project. From the beginning, he was professional, honest, and easy to communicate with. He kept me updated throughout the entire process and made sure every detail was done the right way. The quality of the work exceeded my expectations, and the finished ADU turned out exactly how I envisioned it. His crew was reliable, respectful, and always kept the job site clean. If you're looking for someone who truly cares about the quality of their work and stands behind it, I highly recommend Erfan for any construction project. I wouldn't hesitate to work with him again. Thank you for making the whole process so smooth!”
