From a room addition to expanding that custom kitchen, or even creating a self-contained living space, there are no limits to what practical use you can give to your ADU. A must-have construction for any practical home expansion.
Attaching an ADU to your house will help you maximize
living space without any interior design compromises.
A detached ADU is a smart way to make the most out of your total available space of your property.
An Accessory Dwelling Unit, or ADU, is a self-contained, smaller living place found on the same property lot. The units can either be attached to the house, or be fully-detached units such as cottages or carriage-houses.
The size of an average ADU can range anywhere between 600 square feet and up to twice that number, depending on what’s allowed by your zoning rules and regulations.
To consider an addition an ADU, it will need to contain its own kitchen area, living room, and bedroom area, bathroom, as well as a separate entrance.
There are several ways of adding an accessory dwelling unit, from a garage ADU, to a basement conversion ADU, but we’ll talk in detail about that later on in the article.
