We specialize in both attached and detached ADUs. Lean more about the options available to you!
Attached ADUs:
Garage Conversion: This involves converting an existing garage into a living space, often with modifications to accommodate plumbing, insulation, and other necessary features.
Basement or Cellar Conversion: Transforming a basement or cellar into a livable unit by adding windows, insulation, and proper ventilation.
Attic Conversion: Converting an attic space into a living area, which may involve reinforcing the structure, adding insulation, and providing access via stairs.
Bump-Out Extension: Expanding an existing part of the house, such as a side or rear extension, to create a self-contained living space that is connected to the main structure.
Detached ADUs:
Detached Cottage or Tiny House: Building a separate small structure, often resembling a cottage or tiny house, in the backyard. These units can serve as guesthouses, studios, or rental units.
Backyard Studio: Creating a detached structure intended for artistic endeavors, office work, or recreational activities. While primarily used as a workspace, it can also be designed for habitation.
Garage Conversion (Detached): Similar to an attached garage conversion, this involves converting a standalone garage into a living space. It provides more privacy while still utilizing an existing structure.
New Construction ADU: Building a brand-new structure in the backyard explicitly designed as a separate living unit. It offers the most design flexibility and can range from simple structures to more elaborate designs.
Above-Garage ADU: Constructing a living space on top of a detached garage. This type of ADU maximizes space utilization while providing separation from the main house.
Converted Shed or Outbuilding: Repurposing an existing shed or outbuilding into a functional living space, often requiring modifications to insulation, plumbing, and electrical systems.
The choice between attached and detached ADUs depends on factors such as the available space, local regulations, your preferences, and the intended use of the unit. Each type offers distinct benefits and considerations, contributing to the overall versatility of ADUs in expanding housing options.
