Solstice

Plan Details

The Solstice is a well-proportioned 499 sq ft ADU with 1 bedroom, 1 full bathroom, a walk-in closet, and an open-concept kitchen and living area. The nearly square footprint (18'-7" × 22'-10½") makes it easy to site on most lots. The bedroom and bathroom are tucked into the upper half for privacy, while the living and kitchen areas occupy the lower half with a generous open layout. A hip roof design gives the Solstice a clean, modern profile.

Key Features

• Bedroom (9'-10" × 10'-5"): A full-sized bedroom with space for a queen bed, nightstands, and multiple windows for natural light and cross-ventilation.
• Walk-In Closet (W.I.C.): Dedicated walk-in closet between the bedroom and bathroom, with washer/dryer hookup conveniently located adjacent.
• Full Bathroom (5' × 10'-6"): Complete bathroom with full bathtub, toilet, and vanity. Cleanly separated from the living area for privacy.
• Open Living Area (12' × ~15'): Spacious living room with room for a sofa and entertainment area. Large windows on multiple walls create a bright, airy feel.

Why Choose the Solstice?

The Solstice is designed for homeowners who want a compact yet comfortable ADU with a modern aesthetic. The hip roof creates a clean, low-profile look that blends well with most home styles. At 499 sq ft, it's an ideal size for a rental unit, guest house, or multigenerational living — large enough to feel like a real home but small enough to keep construction costs manageable. The nearly square footprint fits easily on standard California lots with minimal setback challenges.
