Detached ADUs & casitas

Detached ADUs, casitas and backyard homes

Detached ADUs give you the most separation and flexibility – a small home in the backyard with its own entrance, bathroom and mini-kitchen.

Good fits for detached ADUs

• Lots deep enough to keep privacy for both the main house and the ADU.
• Families wanting a place for parents, grown kids or long-term guests.
• Homeowners planning for future rental or resale options.

Key questions we look at on site

• How will people get to the ADU without crossing private areas?
• Where do utilities make the most sense to connect?
• How will height, windows and doors affect neighbors and views?

With those answers, we can sketch layouts that fit your lot instead of forcing a plan that was drawn for somewhere else.
