Turning an existing garage into a livable unit is one of the fastest and most affordable ways to add housing. Our garage conversion floor plans start at 350 sq ft and include a full kitchen, bathroom, and laundry space. These layouts are optimized for natural light and privacy — perfect for rental income or family use.
We also offer compact studio and one-bedroom ADU floor plans that meet California’s state standards for parking exemptions, setbacks, and height limits. Each small ADU plan can be customized to match your main house design and local building code requirements.
If you have a larger lot, our detached ADU designs offer complete independence and flexibility. Popular options include 500 sq ft, 650 sq ft, and 800 sq ft floor plans, each featuring a full kitchen, bath, and open-living concept. We tailor each plan to your property’s orientation, lot shape, and city code, ensuring the best possible use of space and sunlight.
Our detached ADUs are ideal for long-term rentals, guest houses, or multi-generational living. With proper planning, you can add a second home that increases property value by 20–30% while generating $2,000–$3,500+ monthly rent.
Need something unique? GatherADU also offers custom ADU design and engineering. We create tailored floor plans that match your lot conditions, preferred finishes, and budget. Our team manages every step — from site analysis and architectural drawings to Title 24, structural plans, and permit submission.
You’ll get a clear layout, realistic cost estimate, and fast city approval — all handled in one place.
