Why build an ADU?
​​It's no secret: buying a new, bigger home in South Florida is not an option for most of us. Besides, many of us love where we live and don't want to relocate!
​​
Zoning codes now allow many homeowners to legally build ADU's (Accessory Dwelling Units) on their properties.
Do you want to maximize your property's potential?
Do you need more space so you can bring Abuela home?
Are you envisioning a flexible living space that can adapt to your family's evolving needs?
​
With an ADU you can upgrade your living situation for less money and less hassle than moving to a new home.
Family housing
​
A well-designed ADU provides comfortable and safe living quarters for loved ones such as aging parents and adult children. Many of our designs can be made senior-friendly with minor customizations.
Make Abuela happy with her own ADU!
Produce income
​
ADU's may be used as rental units; they're perfect for accquaintances, live-in help or college students. Increase your ROI with a cost-efficient design; retain renters with a beautiful and functional design.
​
Make your property work for you!
The conveniences of home
By code, ADU's are allowed to have full bathrooms, full kitchens and washing machines. Occupants can live independently and you can rest easy knowing that your ADU is legal.
​
An ADU is more than a "unit," it's a home!
Extra space
​
Are you looking for a fast and flexible way to increase your living space? ADU's can be used for home gyms, playrooms, pool cabanas and more. They are ideal for activites that need privacy, such as a home office.
​
Find yourself some peace and quiet!
Pick your plan...
Miami-Dade County allows ADU's from 400 square feet to 800 square feet, which is more than enough for a perfect studio or a spacious one-bedroom.
​
All of our ADU designs are made for real life. They include plenty of space for normal furniture and have full-sized bathrooms. All of our plans have standard sized appliances, including dishwashers, ranges and washer/ dryers. Closets? Absolutely.
Our senior-friendly details include wide door openings, curbless showers and clearance for manuevering.
