We start with what's allowed.
Before you dream up layouts, we check the zoning. We’ll tell you what’s feasible — and how to get it approved.
We get it.
You’ve got the property — now you want it to work harder. Whether it’s space for an aging parent, a rental to offset the mortgage, or just somewhere guests can crash without sharing your kitchen, an ADU sounds like the answer. But between confusing zoning rules, unclear costs, and builders who think “accessory” means “afterthought,” it’s hard to know where to start. You’re not just adding a unit. You’re creating options — for family, for income, for the future.
We design for multiple uses.
In-laws today, tenants tomorrow. Our ADUs flex with your needs.
We make it pencil.
Clear costs, smart phasing, and a focus on long-term value.
Design Considerations
Right-sized everything.
We design compact units with full function — real kitchens, bathrooms, and private entries.
Separate, but connected.
Thoughtful placement, pathing, and landscaping keep privacy intact while staying close.
Indoor-outdoor flow.
Patios, pocket yards, or decks extend usable space without adding square footage.
Neutral, durable finishes.
Looks great, holds up over time, and works for guests, tenants, or family.
Dual-purpose layouts.
We build in flexibility for short stays, long-term use, or aging in place.
Financial Conditions
Lower total cost, higher utility.
ADUs are one of the most efficient ways to increase livable space and property value.
01
Income potential.
Renting your ADU — full-time or seasonally — can help offset your primary housing costs.
02
Feasible financing.
We help clients navigate HELOCs, construction loans, and cash-out refis to get these built.
03
Avoid the markup.
You act as the developer, keeping costs down and returns high.
04
Appraisal uplift.
A well-designed, permitted ADU boosts your property’s value and flexibility on resale.

Why HUTS Works on ADUs
ADUs are small, but the process can be anything but. From setbacks to utility tie-ins to “can I Airbnb this?”, we’ve done the homework so you don’t have to. At HUTS, we bring together zoning expertise, purpose-built design, and a build process that keeps things on track. Whether it’s for family, income, or just peace of mind, we’ll help you add what’s missing — and make sure it fits.
