The Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) is one of the most powerful tools in modern architecture, especially as cities like Austin and San Antonio update their zoning to allow for more density.
Think of it as a way to turn "extra space" into "intentional living." Here is a post that breaks it down for your audience.
An Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU)—often called a "casita," "granny flat," or "guest house"—is a secondary housing unit located on the same lot as a primary residence.
But in 2026, it’s much more than just a "spare room." An ADU is a versatile architectural asset that can serve as:
-
The Revenue Stream: A high-end short-term rental or long-term apartment.
-
The Multi-Gen Solution: A private, dignified space for aging parents or adult children.
-
The Creative Sanctuary: A detached, quiet studio or home office designed for deep work.
With recent local code changes, building an ADU has never been more accessible. From minimalist Zen studios to modern hacienda-style cottages, we specialize in designing "small-scale" architecture that makes a "large-scale" impact on your lifestyle and property value.
