Nova

Plan Details

The Nova is a 749 sq ft L-shaped ADU with 2 bedrooms, 1 full bathroom, and a stunning open-concept living design. What sets the Nova apart is its expansive indoor-outdoor living — a large covered patio nestled in the crook of the L-shape creates a seamless flow between the interior and exterior spaces. Floor-to-ceiling windows and glass doors flood the living and kitchen areas with natural light. The footprint spans approximately 30' × 41' with the bedrooms tucked into a private wing on the left.

Key Features

• Primary Bedroom: Spacious primary bedroom in the private wing with direct access to a walk-in closet and the shared bathroom.
• Second Bedroom: Full-sized second bedroom at the top of the plan with its own closet, ideal for guests, family, or a home office.
• Open Living Room: Bright, airy living room with expansive windows and glass doors opening onto the covered patio. Features a porch entry for a welcoming front entrance.
• Full Kitchen: Generously sized kitchen with full-size refrigerator, dishwasher, stove/oven, round dining table area, and ample counter space. Open layout connects seamlessly to the living area.
• Full Bathroom: Complete bathroom with bathtub/shower, toilet, and vanity centrally located between both bedrooms.
• Walk-In Closet: Dedicated walk-in closet adjacent to the primary bedroom with washer/dryer hookup.
• Covered Patio: Large L-shaped covered patio creates an outdoor living room — perfect for dining, entertaining, or relaxing. The patio is sheltered by the roof overhang and enclosed by the building wings.
• Covered Porch Entry: A dedicated front porch with steps provides a charming entry point to the living area.

Why Choose the Nova?

The Nova is designed for homeowners who value indoor-outdoor living. The L-shaped layout creates a private courtyard patio that feels like an extension of the living room — something you rarely find in ADUs under 750 sq ft. The extensive use of floor-to-ceiling windows and glass doors gives the interior a much larger feel than its square footage suggests. At 749 sq ft, the Nova stays under California's streamlined ADU permit threshold while delivering a premium living experience with full architectural plans including elevations, sections, ceiling plans, and electrical layouts.
