Advice on detached ADU layouts? - Jenkins Serena - 04-19-2026
I am planning to build a small unit in my backyard for my mother-in-law, but I am overwhelmed by all the design options. I want it to feel like a real home, not just a shed with a bed. Does anyone know where I can find professional floor plans that actually work for California properties?

Selecting the right design is half the battle! When I built mine last year, I found that browsing professional adu plans was the best way to visualize the space. It really helped me decide between a detached unit and a garage conversion. Definitely take your time to look at different layouts before committing to a contractor; it saved me a lot of stress!
