ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS
         

Accessory Dwelling Units are a smart and time-tested way to add flexible living space to your property. Simply put, an ADU is a secondary home on the same lot as your main residence. These compact dwellings can take many forms, such as:s:

     • A backyard cottage or tiny house on a permanent foundation
     • A garage apartment or unit above the garage
     • A converted basement or lower-level suite
Whether used for extended family, rental income, or a private home office, ADUs offer versatility and value. Below are examples of ADU projects we’ve designed over the years—each tailored to fit the unique needs of our clients and their properties.s.
