Detached ADU

Detached ADU

A freestanding second home in your own backyard.

Studio · 1 bedroom · 2 bedroom · Up to 1,200 sq ft

A detached ADU is its own building, set behind or beside your house with its own entrance, utilities and privacy. It is the most valuable kind of unit to build, and the one tenants and family members prefer.

We place the unit where it fits your lot, your trees and your sun — then design it so it looks like it has always been there.
