Packed with thoughtful features, this ADU makes a practical and inviting living space.

The pros of a 300-square-foot ADU encompass such aspects as:

1. Optimal use of every cranny. A well-planned layout provides property owners additional free space, which they can utilize for storage, living, hobbies, or workspaces.
2. Low maintenance. With smaller ADUs, homeowners can spend less time and resources on upkeep. If you’re tired of constant repair and efforts spent on keeping things in order, a small ADU is a solution that reduces this burden.
3. Cost savings. A smaller footprint results in smaller expanses, both in the sense of construction costs and living costs. A 300-square-foot ADU requires less heating, less cooling, less energy, and less water, as well as less repairing expenses.
4. Diverse functionality. A 300-square-foot ADU has the potential to serve as a guest house, a granny flat, a home office, or a lease property that you make rental income.

Overall, ADU customers can make the most out of 300 square feet, using it for family accommodations, renting out, or creating a private hub for leisure activities or work.

300 sq. ft. Floor Plan for Simple Life Fans

Different homeowners have diverse images of what an ideal living space is. While some deem it necessary for a house to have expansive, tall walls, large windows, and loft space under the roof, others prefer to have more outdoor areas to walk through every day, enjoying the greenery.

A+ team designed this particular 300-square-foot floor plan for those who prefer their own company, appreciate the value of private living, and enjoy an open living area. Whether you’d like to make it a detached ADU, attach it to the main home, or build it above the garage, this ADU is right for those who work from home or live alone in retirement. Or rent a solo apartment to a tenant.

Many homeowners don’t have enough space in their gardens, often contending with tight constraints due to existing storage buildings or garages. Another common issue with accessory dwelling units is money. While being significantly cheaper than traditional homes, large ADUs can still cost around $200,000-$300,000, which is not affordable for families with meager incomes.

In just 300 square feet, this ADU invites you to rethink your lifestyle. A small ADU project enables homeowners to create a space where every inch has its purpose and completes its function to the full extent. Its compact design isn’t a limitation but an opportunity for a simpler, more efficient room configuration.
