Get a Free ConsultationThe 350 sq ft studio is where most Bay Area homeowners start — the lowest entry point into ADU ownership, and the fastest path to rental income. At 20' × 17'-6", it fits on lots where larger models won't, and because it stays under 750 sq ft, it's exempt from impact fees entirely. Like every model in our Bay Area ADU lineup, it's built on your lot as a true design-build project — custom, not prefab.
An efficient open plan that puts every square foot to work. The living and sleeping area sits under 9-foot ceilings with the kitchen along one wall, the bath and walk-in closet tucked to the side, and a dedicated spot for the washer/dryer — so nothing feels like an afterthought.
Adjustable Within Reason
Every model is adjustable — door and window placement, bath configuration (your choice of tub or walk-in shower), and all finish selections are yours to make. We'll also adapt the plan to your lot, setbacks, and access.
The value of building from our models is that the layout, engineering, and Title 24 are already dialed in — which is exactly what keeps your price and timeline predictable. Fully custom redesigns are a different scope, and we'll walk you through that during your consultation.
Same floor plan inside, two completely different looks outside. Your ADU should feel like it belongs on your property — which style fits best depends on your existing home and your city's design guidelines. We'll help you decide during design.
Modern
Clean lines, dark window frames, and a flat-profile roof. Pairs well with contemporary homes and newer Bay Area neighborhoods.
Farmhouse
Board-and-batten siding, a pitched roof, and warmer detailing. A natural fit alongside traditional and craftsman-style homes.
This is the model for homeowners who want the return without the footprint. It's the lowest-cost way into ADU ownership, and on smaller lots it's often the only option that works.
Rental Income
The fastest path to a rentable unit on land you already own. Lowest build cost of any model, with in-unit laundry and a full kitchen — the two things tenants actually shop for.
Smaller Lots
At 20' × 17'-6", this fits where larger models can't — tight side yards, shallow backyards, or lots where setbacks and coverage limits eat the buildable area.
Guest House or In-Law Suite
Real independence for a parent, an adult kid, or long-stay guests — private entrance, own kitchen and bath, no shared walls with the main house.
Home Office or Studio
A genuine separation between work and home, with a full bath and kitchen so you're not walking back inside all day. Converts to a rental whenever you want.
In a 350 sq ft space, ceiling height does more work than square footage. Most builders frame ADUs at 8 feet. Every one of our models is 9 feet — which is the difference between a studio that feels like a small apartment and one that feels like a shed. It also means taller windows, better natural light, and a unit that shows and rents better.
We'll walk your property, check your setbacks, and tell you honestly what fits — this model or another. Free consultation, no obligation. See pricing, what's included, permits, and financing on our Bay Area ADU page.
