This San Diego ADU is being planned as a comfortable and accessible home designed to support multigenerational living. The homeowner wanted to create a welcoming space for his wife’s mother, allowing family to stay close while maintaining privacy and independence. After discovering SnapADU through an online search, they partnered with the team to guide the project through design and planning.

The proposed design includes a single-story 1,199 sq ft ADU featuring two bedrooms and two bathrooms, arranged in a functional L-shaped floor plan. The layout is intended to create a spacious and relaxed living environment, with an emphasis on accessibility, natural flow between spaces, and everyday comfort. The larger footprint allows for generous common areas while maintaining privacy between rooms.

Located within the City of San Diego and connected to sewer, the property is positioned for a straightforward permitting process. Early planning focuses on efficient site placement and creating a design that integrates naturally with the existing residence.

Overall, this ADU serves as a thoughtful family-oriented housing solution designed to provide comfort, flexibility, and long-term livability.
