Kitchen Remodeling in North Hollywood
North Hollywood kitchens planned to share a room, with quiet hoods, panel-ready appliances and layered light, for main houses, ADUs and JADUs alike.
Seen from the sofa, the kitchen in a North Hollywood ADU is part of the living room, so the plan has to work as furniture as well as a place to cook. Panel fronts can hide the dishwasher and refrigerator. A hood with a low sound rating can run through a whole meal without drowning out talk. Closed cabinets up to the ceiling keep small appliances out of view, and the same thinking suits a main-house kitchen open to the family room.
Quiet and hidden
Hood noise is listed in sones on the spec sheet, and a model near the low end of that scale can run while food cooks without anyone raising a voice. The duct still has to exhaust outdoors, through the roof or an outside wall, by a short and straight route. Panel-ready appliances take cabinet doors that match the run beside them. A refrigerator set into a recess of its own sits flush with the counter edge, so from across the room it reads as a tall cabinet.
Light and storage in a shared room
Light in layers lets the kitchen change role. A strip below the wall cabinets throws light onto the counter, a pendant or ceiling fixture serves the room, and each sits on its own switch or dimmer. California's energy code calls for efficient fixtures and controls, so those switches appear on the plan the North Hollywood permit set carries to LADBS. Tall pantry cabinets with pull-outs hold the toaster and coffee maker behind doors, and an outlet inside lets them be used right where they are stored.
Kitchen Remodeling in North Hollywood: common questions
A cooking appliance, a food prep counter and storage sized to the unit are what state law lists for a junior unit's efficiency kitchen, and a sink can be left off. In a North Hollywood JADU we plan a counter long enough to chop beside the cooktop, induction burners and a cabinet tall enough for a broom.
A relocated sink needs its own drain and vent plus new supply lines, so the answer is yes. LADBS permits that plumbing for a North Hollywood address and inspects it before the walls close. Swapping a sink within its existing cabinet on the old lines is lighter work, and the drawings note which case applies.
An L-shaped run tucked into a corner leaves the middle of a small North Hollywood ADU open for a table. Counter-depth appliances keep the front edge in a straight line, a 30-inch sink base fits a full-size bowl, and wall cabinets carried to the ceiling hold what comes out only now and then.
