Ivy St New Construction ADU

About This Project

This Santa Monica garage conversion on Ivy St transforms a standard garage into a charming 475 sq ft ADU that perfectly suits one of LA's most desirable neighborhoods. The vaulted ceilings create an airy, spacious feel that belies the unit's compact footprint.

The fully equipped kitchen features crisp white shaker cabinets, clean countertops, and full-size stainless steel appliances including a refrigerator, range, dishwasher, and microwave. The efficient layout makes cooking and entertaining easy.

The comfortable bedroom offers plenty of space for furnishing, with good closet storage and natural light. The modern bathroom includes contemporary fixtures and a clean design that matches the unit's overall aesthetic.

Santa Monica is one of the highest-demand rental markets in Los Angeles County, where ADUs command premium rents. This garage conversion is a perfect example of how homeowners can unlock significant rental income while adding lasting value to their property. Vision ADU handled the entire process from design and permitting through construction.
