Understanding Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs)

When it comes to maximizing space and functionality in residential properties, Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) have emerged as a popular and effective solution. Particularly for owners of modular homes, ADUs represent an opportunity to expand living space, accommodate family members, or even generate rental income. In this post, we’ll explore what ADUs are, their benefits, and how they can be seamlessly integrated into modular home designs.

What is an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU)?

An Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) is a distinct living space within a single residential lot, usually featuring a complete kitchen and bathroom. Ranging from studio layouts to two-bedroom configurations, these units offer versatility in design. An ADU may be integrated with the main home or exist as an independent structure on the same property.

This concept is particularly beneficial for modular homes. ADUs designed for modular homes can be pre-fabricated off-site and then transported to the property for assembly. This approach not only maintains consistent quality but also significantly reduces construction time. Whether as a remodelled part of the main house, like a garage conversion, a standalone unit like a garden cottage, or an internal conversion such as a basement apartment, ADUs provide flexible living solutions.
