Helpful ADU resources
Attached ADUs for connected living
Attached ADUs can add independent living space while maintaining a strong relationship to the main home and existing utilities.
Attached ADU planning
Designing an attached ADU that feels independent
An attached ADU should feel connected to the property but still comfortable and private for daily living. Planning often focuses on entry location, sound separation, windows, kitchen placement, bathroom access, and how the new unit relates to the main home.
Separate access
A thoughtful entry can improve privacy and make the ADU easier for family, guests, or tenants to use.
Efficient utilities
Because attached ADUs connect to an existing home, utility planning should be coordinated early with the layout.
Comfortable separation
Noise control, light, storage, and circulation help the ADU feel like a complete living space rather than an afterthought.
