As housing prices escalate, many are pursuing alternative living solutions like accessory dwelling units (ADUs). These secondary spaces serve various functions, from guest accommodations to offices, and can enhance property values. Jeremy Nova from Studio Shed emphasizes their efficiency and appeal. Despite design challenges due to smaller layouts, creative solutions are implemented, as demonstrated by Rose Adele's Monterey ADU, which uses curtains for privacy while maintaining a cohesive design aesthetic. ADUs represent a growing trend in affordable housing solutions amid rising costs.
As the price of homeownership and even traditional rental units continues to skyrocket in many areas across the country, more and more people are turning to alternative solutions.
ADUs can increase the value of a property, according to Jeremy Nova, cofounder and creative director of Studio Shed, a maker of turnkey modern sheds and backyard studios.
Even though there are several benefits from these smaller spaces, the layouts can pose some design challenges as they're trickier.
Rose hung a white curtain on the see-through bookshelf that divides the living space and bedroom to create separate areas while also getting privacy.
