This pre-approved ADU is conceived as a compact contemporary residence that emphasizes light, simplicity, and a strong connection to the outdoors.

With a total area of 743 sq. ft., the layout is organized to feel open and uncluttered. The kitchen, dining, and living areas are combined into a single open space that serves as the social core of the home. Large sliding glass doors open directly onto the deck, allowing natural light to fill the interior and extending daily living beyond the walls of the unit.

The plan includes one bedroom and one bathroom, positioned to provide privacy and comfort without unnecessary separation. The bedroom is designed as a quiet retreat, while the bathroom features clean lines, warm materials, and a calm, minimalist atmosphere.

The exterior architecture balances modern simplicity with natural textures. Horizontal siding, wood accents, and generous glazing give the building a grounded, contemporary character. In addition to the ground-level outdoor deck, a rooftop deck creates an elevated outdoor space, offering flexibility for relaxation, entertaining, or enjoying the surrounding landscape.

Overall, this ADU delivers a carefully considered living environment that feels open, modern, and connected to its site — an ideal option for rental use, guest housing, or independent living.
