Junior ADU (JADU) design for
Orange County homeowners.
A Junior ADU is a compact living unit created within an existing home. We help homeowners plan efficient layouts, coordinate documentation, and move forward with a clean Design-Build process.
Compact living space within the existing home.
A Junior ADU, commonly called a JADU, is designed inside the existing footprint of a primary residence. It is often used for family living, rental flexibility, guest space, or a more efficient use of underutilized interior area.
Because a JADU is smaller and integrated into the home, good planning matters. Layout, privacy, access, kitchenette design, utility coordination, and code requirements all need to work together from the beginning.
Efficient Footprint
Uses existing interior space to create a compact, functional living environment.
Flexible Use
Supports family housing, guest space, or rental potential depending on the property.
Coordinated Plans
Design, utility planning, Title 24, and permitting are organized into one process.
Is a Junior ADU right for your property?
A JADU can be a strong option when you want to add flexibility without constructing a fully detached unit. The right approach depends on your home layout, access, parking, utilities, and long-term goals.
Junior ADU planning
JADUs can be a compact, efficient way to create independent living space within an existing home when layout and access are handled thoughtfully.
