Spanning 48 feet in width and 38 feet in depth, this accessory dwelling unit (ADU) is engineered to maximize a small footprint while maintaining a distinct architectural profile through a combination 10:12 and 4:12 roof pitch.
The main level interior is defined by an open-concept core that integrates a kitchen island with the primary living space, promoting direct sightlines throughout the 612-square-foot floor plan. A single bedroom layout provides a private living quarter, while 9-foot ceiling heights contribute to the perceived volume of the interior space. This configuration is suitable for a secondary dwelling, guest house, or rental unit.
Structural integrity is provided by 2x6 exterior wall framing and truss roof construction, ensuring long-term durability for the structure. The design features a significant 1,140-square-foot garage and workshop area, which accommodates 2 cars and offers substantial space for hobbyist activities or additional storage. The front-load garage orientation allows for simple site access and efficient driveway integration.
