A Place of Your Own
Use a backyard ADU to plan independent day-to-day living on a property with a primary residence. Start with its relationship to the main house, the garden and the route to the entrance.
Main Floor + Loft
Style BL pairs a one-bedroom main floor with a separate loft above. The main floor contains the kitchen, living area and bathroom; Style B offers the one-bedroom arrangement on a single level.
A Garden-Facing Finish
Compare exterior wall and roof finishes with the existing home. Interior finishes can be selected around daily use, while the porch provides a transition to the garden.
Confirm the site access, services and permitted use before developing an ADU proposal.
Before You Order: An ADU Checklist
Check local rules first. Size, height, setback and parking limits are set by each jurisdiction, so confirm the rules that apply to your lot with the local planning department before ordering.
Plan the utility connections. Water, sewer or septic, and electrical service are installed on site by local licensed trades, and some lots also need a service upgrade before the ADU can be connected.
Agree site access and foundation. The panels arrive by truck, so the delivery route and unloading area need to be confirmed, and the foundation is engineered for the site and the local approvals that apply.
Compare layouts. Style B provides 416 sq ft on a single level; Style BL adds a 174 sq ft loft above a 416 sq ft main floor; Style D offers 558 sq ft with a deck on each side. The foundation, permit and installation scope for your project are confirmed in your quote.
