Building the Perfect ADU Backyard Home

Are you looking for building an ADU backyard home in San Francisco? Property owners like you would now be able to include a little, totally confined second home in their backyard.

Backyard homes offer several ADU models designed and built specifically to meet your requirements. The perfect backyard ADU starts with understanding your lot and your goals.

Site assessment is critical: Soil conditions, utility access, setback requirements, and tree preservation all influence where and how your ADU can be positioned.

Choose the right size: Studio ADUs (under 500 sq ft) are great for home offices or guest houses. One-bedroom units (500–800 sq ft) are ideal for rental income. Two-bedroom ADUs (800–1,200 sq ft) suit families.

Outdoor living matters: Integrate your ADU with the landscape through patios, pathways, and garden spaces that enhance both the ADU and your main property.

ADORE Homes specializes in designing backyard ADUs that maximize your property's potential while maintaining privacy for both the main home and the new unit.
