From Mid to Superluxe, the Ins and Outs of ADUs and the Space(s) in Between
Moderator: Degen Pener, Deputy Editor, The Hollywood Reporter
Panelists: Peggy Hsu, Stephen Pallrand, Chris Pickett, and Amy Williams
ADUs may have started as being the ‘granny flat’ but have evolved into a wide range of uses and design. From small modular boxes to highly styled integrated buildings, they have changed the topography of Los Angeles, and this maximizing of property has been both scorned and adored. Will there be harmony as we live and ADU in Los Angeles? Led by Deputy Editor of The Hollywood Reporter, Degen Pener, please join Peggy Hsu, Co-Founder of Hsu McCullough, Stephen Pallrand, Founder of Home Front Build & CarbonShack, and Chris Pickett, CEO of his luxury real estate group at Douglas Elliman in Beverly Hills and Amy Williams, Perennials Creative Director, as these experts address: What should an ADU reflect inside and out? How best to integrate an ADU seamlessly into a property including exterior space and landscaping between ADU and main house? Is this your chance to build with sustainability in mind? Does an ADU hurt or help the real estate perspective – in the neighborhood or an individual property? What are the long-term effects of ADUs? Bring your questions!
A reception will immediately follow at David Sutherland showroom, Suite B182.
