Flexible accessory spaces planned for independent living, work, or multigenerational needs.
A thoughtful transformation
An accessory dwelling unit can support family members, provide a private guest suite, create a dedicated work space, or add long-term flexibility to your property. Planning starts with what you want the space to do.
The basics
An ADU is a secondary, self-contained living unit on a residential lot. It may be detached, attached to the main house, or created by converting existing space such as a garage. ADUs typically include a place to sleep, cook, and bathe.
Benefits
Keep family close while giving everyone privacy.
A comfortable, separate place for visitors.
A quiet, dedicated space separate from the main house.
Adapt the use of the unit as your needs change.
Ideas & possibilities
A standalone unit with its own entry and outdoor space.
Convert existing structure into livable space.
A unit connected to the main home with separate access.
A compact unit created within the existing house.
Single-level, step-free design for aging in place.
Full function in a smaller footprint.
Our process
Step 1
We talk through your goals, priorities, timing, and the parts of the home that are not working today.
Step 2
We review the existing conditions in person so planning is based on the real space, not assumptions.
Step 3
Layout, materials, finishes, and priorities are organized into a clear, written project scope.
Step 4
You receive a proposal based on the agreed scope, with sequencing and any required approvals discussed openly.
Step 5
Work is coordinated with regular communication, protection of the rest of your home, and attention to detail.
Step 6
We review the finished work together and address final items before the project is closed out.
Why ACREAGE
Decisions about layout, materials, and sequencing are made early so construction can move with fewer surprises.
You know what is happening, what comes next, and which decisions are needed from you.
Work areas are protected and kept organized, especially when you are living in the house during construction.
Schedules, costs, and requirements are discussed only after the property and scope have been reviewed.

General guidance only — specifics depend on your property and scope.
Common types include detached units, attached units, garage conversions, and junior ADUs within the existing home.
Yes. ADUs are subject to local zoning and building requirements, which are reviewed for each property.
Many garages can be converted, depending on structure, utilities, and local rules.
Start with how the unit will be used — that shapes size, layout, and features.
