ADU

Vision:
The homeowner wanted to add a versatile ADU that generated rental income and blended seamlessly with their existing Craftsman-style home.

Challenge:
A compact backyard and strict San Diego zoning required a design that maximized space while preserving the Craftsman aesthetic.

Process:
Ink → Concept sketches that echoed the main home’s Craftsman details.
Design → 950 sq ft ADU with full kitchen, bath, and efficient layout.
Permitting → First-round approval in just 3 months.
Build → Completed under $168,000 with finishes that matched the existing property.

Result:
A 956 sq ft ADU completed on budget. Now rented for over $2,500/month, providing steady income while looking like it was always part of the property.
