Detached ADU Models

Detached ADUs are the clearest fit for a reusable model catalog because the new structure can begin from a defined planning footprint and then be adapted to the site.

Why the property comes first

A catalog can help compare space and style, but it cannot verify setbacks, easements, existing construction, utilities, access, hazards, or agency requirements for a specific address.

Defined detached footprints

Compare size before choosing finishes.

Each concept below has a defined planning footprint that can enter the preliminary property-fit workflow.

  2. 02

    Investigate the unknowns

  3. 03

    Design and permit

    Develop architecture and engineering around the verified site, then submit through the applicable agency process.

Next step

Put the actual property at the center of the decision.
