A Separate Residence Within One Property

Create a Separate Home Without Dividing the Property.

A DADU should function as a complete residence while maintaining a thoughtful relationship with the primary home, backyard, access and surrounding architecture.

We consider the detached building location, independent entrance, window orientation, private outdoor zone, compact interior circulation and the relationship to the existing property.

The project direction can then coordinate site work, supporting construction, framing, enclosure, complete residential build-out and visible property transitions.

DADU Planning Principle The detached unit, its entrance and its outdoor space should be planned together.

Detached Property Planning

Plan the DADU and the Property Around It.

A DADU affects more than its own footprint. It changes backyard circulation, privacy, views, landscaping and the way both residences use the property.

The project direction should consider the main home, separate entrance, outdoor areas and detached residence as one coordinated property system.

DADU Layout & Property Explorer

Select a DADU Direction. Explore the Living Strategy.

The appropriate direction depends on the backyard, available footprint, access, privacy and intended use.

Unit Direction 01

Combine sleeping, living and dining within one carefully organized open room.

A studio direction relies on clear furniture zones, built-in storage and an efficient relationship between kitchen and bathroom.

  • Open living and sleeping zone
  • Compact kitchen direction
  • Integrated storage opportunities
Unit Direction 02

Separate the bedroom while keeping the living area open and efficient.

A one-bedroom layout can provide clearer privacy while maintaining a compact kitchen, bathroom and shared living zone.

  • Separate private bedroom
  • Open living and kitchen relationship
  • Defined storage and circulation
Property Direction 03

Position the DADU as a separate building while coordinating it with the primary residence.

A detached direction should clearly organize separate access, privacy, outdoor space and the relationship between both residences.

  • Independent exterior access
  • Main-home relationship planning
  • Coordinated exterior and landscape direction
Layout Direction 04

Organize a flexible detached footprint into a complete compact residence.

The layout should address entry, daylight, room zoning, storage and the relationship to the DADU exterior.

  • Detached-footprint planning
  • Flexible residential room organization
  • Window and separate-entry direction
