Pool House ADU — Sherman Oaks

The Pool House ADU is an ultra-luxury secondary residence located in the upscale neighborhood of Sherman Oaks. Completed in 2022, this detached single-story structural masterpiece was developed to maximize functionality and comfort by replacing a non-habitable, un-permitted backyard pool house with a fully legal luxury residence.

Situated adjacent to a pristine backyard pool, the design focuses on high-end structural engineering, premium architectural elements, and seamless outdoor entertainment integration. The result is a spectacular, high-end guest house that functions as a comfortable resort-style dwelling and a high-earning rental asset.
