This unit is gorgeous, every inch of space was used wisely, and the use of white with hints of blue was perfect

[@terribletomvu37]

Perfect, perfect, perfect! Just the right amount of features to not be too plain. Would love to have something like this!

[@yolandamariscal6238]

STUNNING! My type of home. 👍

[@walkashland]

This is the most gorgeous ADU I've ever seen. The proportions are so great, the tile in the bathroom is divine, and the pocket doors to maximize indoor/outdoor is perfect. I can't wait to show this video to an architect one day. If ONLY that backyard were bigger and had more established foliage. A permanent gas fire pit would complete this. In awe.

[@InspiredADUs]

Thanks so much :) The owner is an incredible gardener so we fully expect to update the photos in a couple years when her vision comes to life in the garden!

[@garrettcal1812]

I pray that someday I can leave this to my children.

[@laurendiller]

Love this design!

[@InspiredADUs]

Thank you! 😊

[@djstace808]

So cute-this is perfection. ❤

[@scottc.6409]

Very Nice!

[@InspiredADUs]

Thank you!

[@angellapink6667]

This is soo nice

[@bigjav240]

Oh wow! Absolutely amazing. I’m out in San Jose. Can I hire you to work on my ADU?

[@simplesheryll8626]

this is beautiful!

[@deniseroe5891]

Beautiful and almost perfect, need a TV space for husband. All the room we need.

[@InspiredADUs]

TV in the big room or TV in the bedroom is a very important design consideration! Or both? If you want to use this floor plan, that kind of change is relatively cheap - let me know if I can help you. Otherwise, enjoy the inspiration and good luck with your project!

[@2allthingsher]

If it possible to build a ADU as a primary home on empty land in Georgia?

[@Eztliz]

So huge kitchen and dining area and tiny itty bitty living room staring into kitchen.

[@HouseMaxLLC]

Nice, how much will be cost per sf ?

[@maifung23]

Stunning! And this is 737 sq. ft.???!

[@InspiredADUs]

Hard to believe but true! Thanks for the nice comment.

[@reyvelasquez3566]

What are dimensions of the master? Thank you.

[@angelofontanesi7069]

Nicer than my apartment. Too bad your market is only CA. The Midwest and East could use housing options like this.

[@InspiredADUs]

We can work with your builder or architect in another state - email [e-mail] if you're interested. Thanks so much for watching.

[@JimDiller-dq4vp]

What is that amazing tile in the bathroom?

[@tristanpastor8129]

how much estimate costs on this ADU? price range?

[@SamuelGarcia-rf4th]

nice job! i don't see a separation fence between main house. can you describe the landscaping that was done to create some separation?

[@HowToADU]

I've been to Aileen so I can try to answer that! As I recall, the ADU wall facing the primary home pretty much only has a couple very high windows on it so the ADU cannot look into the main house's yard (unless you stood on the bed and really tried to!) The path between front and back has a very ritzy metal garden wall that lets light through but blocks most visibility while you're walking to the back ADU entrance. The ADU has its own yard because it's oriented away from the main house. The main house has the entire yard between it and the ADU wall.

[@JA-bx1sh]

What’s the cost??

[@scottc.6409]

Love this design with it being fully staged! But where can you place a big screen TV in the big room?

[@InspiredADUs]

You're right that the way the couch is laid out, it doesn't leave a lot of room for a TV in the big room. I'd probably tweak the built ins if we were going to put a TV in there. There is a small home office guest room that would also make for a nice movie room. And then you can do something like this if you want to put the TV in the kitchen island: instagram.com/p/Bttk6BwhU3M/

[@danjko888]

Nice job!! What kind of windows and door manufacturer did you use?

[@InspiredADUs]

The big bi-folding glass doors are aluminum frame doors from Origin

[@JonnyQ408]

I Wish I had a backyard large enough for something like this, how much does something like this cost? I'm more towards the south bay.

[@InspiredADUs]

It’s pretty pricey. The 414 sq ft units in the South Bay are coming in around 280k-300k these days. A unit like Aileen is easily looking at 300k+ - but scheduling a chat is free on our website inspiredadus.com/contact

[@jimklemens5018]

Depends.

[@socalrealestate61]

Aren’t adu suppose to look similar to the single home ? How do we get to build a modern adu like that if our home is old ?

[@InspiredADUs]

The answer depends on the city where your property is located. Some cities require you to match the style of the primary house, and others have other design requirements. Some cities are very easy-going. Good luck with your project and please let us know if you'd like professional design help.

[@user27278]

Also even if the city does have design requirements, they can for go them if the ADU isnt visible from the street

[@josephahmedmahmoud9181]

Do you do projects in orange county?,how much is the cost for a similar project to that one in the video?

[@InspiredADUs]

Thanks for the question, Joseph. We offer architecture and permitting services throughout California so you can use our designs in Orange County. If you want to use our designs, we'll put a full permit set together, including engineering and Title 24, and submit your permit application for you. This service tends to cost between $9,000 and $14,000 depending on whether you want to customize the designs or use them as they are. Hope that helps!

[@aishwaryarastogi]

what would be the price for this ADU? and how long does it take to make one?

[@InspiredADUs]

The average construction cost for projects like this one in Oakland are coming in from $350k-$400k at the moment. I know it's high, but that's the average range where real homeowners have ended up. Hope that helps! We don't usually share the costs of a specific construction project online since it's private to the homeowner. But the average is accurate and hopefully helpful. In California, we can do your plans and permits for a fraction of that overall cost, and then you can find a GC who is able to work with you on budget for your specific region and site.

[@matthewvillanueva7121]

Hello what paint color is used on the walls on the inside?

[@jimklemens5018]

Off white.

[@gordenlam]

[@robchiang3153]

Is this a preset floor plan or custom build?

[@InspiredADUs]

This was custom-built for the client, and it's now available as a predesigned floor plan to people who want to use it. It can also be personalized based on your needs. Hope that helps. Thanks for the question!

[@caliboi8415]

How much ??

[@InspiredADUs]

ADU cost depends on a variety of factors like your site, SF, materials, and type of ADU (custom, modular, pre-approved, or garage conversion). The range can be anywhere from $150,000-$600,000.

[@godwins1298]

Isn't it additional dwelling?

[@InspiredADUs]

The State named them Accessory Dwelling Units or ADUs. Not sure the consulted a marketing company!

[@maryellenyarusso7029]

I'm looking to buy a small house but would to own a small piece of land instead of living in someones backyard

[@dhog6798]

How much

[@InspiredADUs]

Pricing for our pre-designed plan sets and permit application are on our website: inspiredadus.com/get-adu We don't share construction costs for individual projects for privacy reasons, but we do share aggregate and anonymized data on our website: inspiredadus.com/under-construction/berkeley-adus

[@cprescott9908]

Want, but in Hawai'i.

[@InspiredADUs]

Curtis, we will check what our architect license allows us to do for you in Hawaii - because we all want a work trip to Hawaii! Being a bit more serious, our plan sets can be sold in several states outside of California - email me at [e-mail] and I'll let you know what we can do. If we can't serve you, then we'll help find other options that are in the same spirit of universal design.

[@InspiredADUs]

Hi Curtis, do you mind letting us know a bit more about your project? If you share your address with us at [e-mail] we can start looking into some of the details of whether we could potentially help you out!

[@brothertn708]

When you can’t even afford an ADU 😭😭😭

[@InspiredADUs]

Hang in there! We all know the feeling
