Los Gatos ADU Design for Renting Out

When you build an ADU for renting out, you must consider the tenant’s needs above your own. That means adding some things you normally would not find in an ADU for your personal use. Here are some things you need to remember when creating a Los Gatos ADU design for renting out.

• Privacy. Your tenant must have their own personal space when using your ADU. You can do this by ensuring that the entry to the ADU faces away from your residence. You can also build the ADU so that no windows open into your side of the compound.
• Functionality. Ensure that the fitting you have serves a functional purpose in the home. For instance, include a kitchen and a bathroom in the ADU, so the tenants can feel at home while using it.
• Outdoor space. Having an outdoor space can increase your ADU’s value and give your tenant more space in the home. There are different patio ideas, so check them out and settle on a plan that works for you.

ADU Floor Plan

The floor plans you choose should be efficient and utilize every space available. Since the ADU is often smaller, you might get conflicted about what to do. These tips help you plan your floor space better.

• The number of rooms. The one thing you need to decide is how many rooms your ADU will have. If you choose to have walls partitioning the different areas, you will need a different plan than if you choose to go with an open floor concept.
• Space needs. Figure out what space will be used for which activity, as that will determine how much space you allocate to each. For instance, your kitchen area cannot be bigger than the lounge. You might also need to figure out how the different appliances or storage options will fit in all these areas.
• Practicality. Ensure that the rooms you choose make sense to the purpose of the ADU. A home office will have a different floor plan when compared to an ADU for rent. If you plan on making it accessible, you will also need to change up a couple of things.

ADU Design For Working From Home

Your ADU can be the perfect work-from-home space since it is away from the main home and all the noise. Here are a couple of things you can do to your ADU to turn it into a home office.

• Make it soundproof. A soundproof ADU ensures you can work in your home office without distraction. The method you choose to soundproof your home will depend on your contractor and if there are any aesthetic considerations you need to make.
• Have enough storage. Another thing you need to ensure you have a home office is storage options. You can choose the usual cupboard or have inbuilt storage options so your home office has a minimalist feel. Ensure you have secure storage for confidential documents.
• Have a bathroom. To ensure your home office is comfortable, install a bathroom in the ADU. It will ensure you can stay in your ADU longer without returning to the main home anytime you need a break. The bathroom also helps improve the value of the ADU.
