Adding an ADU to their First Home

These young homeowners just purchased their first home in Redwood City and were looking to build a space for their parents to move into. They both work full-time jobs, and after scratching the surface on local municipal regulations and speaking with a few contractors, they realized they wanted someone to handle the process end-to-end on their behalf. That's where Cottage came in.
"Cottage really helps make the ADU process accessible, approachable, and less intimidating."

The husband's parents were moving from a 2,000 sq. ft. home to the 748 sq. ft. ADU, so they wanted it to feel as spacious as possible, while keeping a portion of their backyard open and the flexibility for a future expansion to the main home’s master bedroom. And with a space-efficient rectangular design, Cottage's design studio team was able to fit 2 bedrooms, 1.5 bathrooms, a full-size kitchen, and a great room area.
“Cottage helped us solve a problem where we can be with our parents, our most loved people, during their golden years," the wife explained to us. "Cottage is definitely making a huge impact on the quality of our lives."

Matching the ADU Exterior with the Existing Home

Grey stucco siding, white window casement and a gable roof match the character of the main home, while a concrete paver patio between the two units allows for indoor-outdoor living.

The open concept great room is a comfortable multi-use space for Harold’s parents, who are selling their home in Southern California to move into the unit full-time. The kitchen has full-size appliances and a peninsula that provides extra cabinetry on one side and bar seating on the other.

We did this all while working with the homeowner's budget and are excited to see this it come to life!
It’s easy to trust the Cottage team - you can feel the level of integrity and honest and high quality of work."
