Special Circumstance: Multiple ADUs
Custom 750 square foot ADU + guest quarters with a roofdeck is designed for family members in San Diego. It serves as an ideal solution for multigenerational living, offering both independence and close proximity for family members.
This ADU is specifically tailored to accommodate the needs of a family and spans two levels, providing a comfortable and functional living arrangement. Stacked ADUs are a popular option when cities allow two story ADUs.
When this family planned to build two units on their property, they originally scoped a new detached ADU with a JADU attached to it. During the design process, the City of San Diego changed their regulations to prohibit a JADU from being anywhere outside of the main structure. We were able to pivot to a new detached ADU with a “guest living quarters” attached. The kitchen in the guest quarters had to be more limited, but the family will still be able to achieve their goal of creating two independent living units.
