Open-Plan ADU with French Doors in Westchester
An Open Westchester ADU Centered on a Sage Kitchen This Westchester ADU is built around one open room. A sage green Shaker kitchen with white subway tile, a stainless chimney hood, and a gas range anchors one end, and wood-look floors carry the eye across the living area to French doors that open to the yard. The bathroom adds a green double vanity and a walk-in shower. Our ADU team handled the whole build.
What the Finished ADU Shows
This Westchester ADU has an open plan built around a soft green kitchen. Shaker cabinets in sage pair with white subway tile, marble-look counters, a stainless chimney hood, and stainless appliances including a gas range. Wood-look floors run through the open living area, which has French doors to the yard and a ductless mini-split. The bathroom has a green double vanity, two arched black mirrors, hexagon marble-look floor tile, and a walk-in shower in gray stone-look tile with a mosaic niche and a grab bar. A stacked washer and dryer and bedrooms with ceiling fans complete it.
Why an Open Plan Works in an ADU
In a smaller home, extra walls eat up space and block light. Keeping the kitchen and living area in one open room lets the window, the recessed lights, and the French doors brighten everything at once. The sage cabinets give the room a clear focal point, and the white subway tile keeps it fresh. One continuous run of wood-look flooring makes the whole space feel larger than it is.

How We Run Your ADU Build
An ADU build in Westchester starts with a free consultation, where we talk about who the unit is for and how you want it to flow. We then take care of design, permits, and construction as one team. Practical details matter in a home like this. Grab bars like the one in this shower need solid blocking inside the wall, so we plan them before the drywall goes up, along with the venting and water lines for the stacked laundry.

ADU in Westchester: Common Questions
How much does an ADU cost in Westchester?
Size, layout, site conditions, and finishes drive the price. Our Los Angeles ADU cost guide shows typical ranges.
Are French doors a good choice for an ADU?
They bring in plenty of light and connect the living area to the yard. Glass doors also make a smaller room feel more open.
Why choose a double vanity in an ADU bathroom?
Two sinks make mornings easier when more than one person shares the space. Matching arched mirrors keep it looking balanced.
Is a shower grab bar only for older residents?
No. It is a simple safety feature for anyone stepping in and out of a wet shower, and it helps the unit work for guests and family of all ages.
Do I need a permit for an ADU in Westchester?
Yes. Westchester is part of the City of Los Angeles, so the unit needs plans and city approval. We handle the drawings, submittals, and inspections.
How long does an ADU build take?
Construction usually takes several months, plus time for design and permits. We give you a realistic schedule before work begins.
How do I know if my lot can fit an ADU?
Lot size, setbacks, and utilities all play a part. Our overview of ADUs and home additions in Los Angeles explains the basics, and we can review your property during a consultation.
