One Story

This custom 2 bedroom 2 bathroom ADU in Carlsbad was designed to feel like a natural extension of the main home. Clad in dark gray stucco with a matching shingle roof, the exterior was carefully selected to mirror the primary residence and create a cohesive, polished look across the property.

The slightly L-shaped floor plan smartly separates the two bedrooms, giving each its own ensuite bathroom and a greater sense of privacy which is ideal for long-term renters. A new privacy fence defines the ADU’s outdoor space and creates a clear separation from the main house, while a rear deck with modern wire railing adds both usable outdoor space and a contemporary design touch.

Built on a raised foundation to accommodate the sloped lot, this project is a great example of how thoughtful planning and engineering can unlock challenging sites without sacrificing livability. The result is a high-quality rental unit that feels intentional, private, and fully integrated into the property.

Floor Plan:

2BR/2BA 45×26 L-Shape

This 997 sq ft L-shaped floor plan features two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a central living room and kitchen. The primary bedroom includes an en suite bath and walk-in closet, while the second bath serves the common areas and secondary bedroom.
Build Cost: $329K
