WHAT WE DO
Signature ADU is a special collaboration between Architectural Designer and General Contractor, a design-build firm that draws from multiple experiences and professions to create a comfortable, yet still affordable, living space for our clients and their families.
​
Through our design-build principles, we can avoid the pitfalls of a more one-sided business. Our designs and buildings are crafted with our construction process in mind, easing the shift between conceptual to reality. We utilize modern technology to speed up and enhance the building process. We build ADU's that are both fundamentally sound and ones that we would want to live in! From conception to handing over the keys, your ADU is kept safely within our hands.
WHAT IS AN ADU?
WHAT IS A CARRIAGE HOUSE?
ADU
Accessory Dwelling Unit
An ADU is a smaller, less prominent unit built alongside an existing single family home on the same lot. Due to its status as a "secondary" unit, ADUs are typically defined by certain limitations regarding size and visibility.
​
These structures contain all of the necessary facilities needed for every day activities such as sleeping accommodations, a bathroom and a kitchen.
​
However, all of our available designs can also be constructed as stand alone units on a vacant lot.*

*Subject to zoning requirements
CARRIAGE HOUSE
__________________________________________
Historically a two story design meant to house horses, gear and caretakers all within one structure, carriage homes have evolved with the advancement of transportation and the introduction of the automobile.
​
In current times, the modern carriage house typically has a first floor garage with living accommodations being situated on the second floor. These accommodations include amenities such as sleeping quarters, a bathroom and a kitchen.

Carriage house buildability is dependant on zoning requirements.
