500 square feet ADU: Maximize Property Benefits

If you wonder whether this tiny house fits your goals and requirements, let’s take a look at the model’s advantages. While ADUs may range from 150 sq. ft. to 1200 sq. ft., 500 sq. ft. is the medium apartment size. Although it’s not extremely spacious, it’s already not an extremely small space, given the functional design we chose to implement.

500 square feet ADU model is a one-story ADU plan, boasting such advantages as:

  • open floor plan for maximizing small spaces and uniting them into one large space to make areas multifunctional;
  • use of large windows number for ample natural light, making the area brighter and more open;
  • strategic positioning of furniture;
  • private bedroom area;
  • storage space, helping keep the apartment tidy and organized.

Whether your goal is inviting guests, creating a garden cottage in your backyard for family members or in-laws to stay, a home office, or a creativity nook, the A+ ADU model provides efficient square footage to do so!

500 square feet ADU: Floor Plan and Design

Medium ADUs are good to spend time with your family in or rent them out to tenants. Also, many homeowners in California create a medium ADU because it’s a lucrative blend of affordable costs and sufficient residential space located within your property. Leading a minimalist lifestyle, incorporating sustainable practices, and maximizing space utility are all things that you can achieve with a medium ADU.

A+ 500 sq. ft. model goes with:

  1. full set of appliances;
  2. energy and water efficiency features;
  3. abundant storage space;
  4. harmless materials that also prevent the spread of mole and water damage;
  5. quick and reliable construction.

ADU Bedroom

A compact yet functional bedroom includes space for a bed and nightstand. It is separate from the main area, which provides ADU residents with an elevated level of privacy and comfort. We placed the bed into the corner of the bedroom to leave more room intact, fostering freedom of movement.

ADU Bathroom

Our bathroom includes a toilet, sink, and a full shower/tub. Its design aims to save space while at the same time providing all necessary amenities. A+ designer chose for the bathroom a corner location to create a more open room in the middle of the ADU.

ADU Kitchen

Attached to a wall, the kitchen includes essential appliances like a refrigerator, dishwasher, and slide-in range. It also contains solid wood cabinetry and countertops with a marble-like finish for storing utensils and effective cooking.

ADU Joint Living Area

Our team created a living area combined with the kitchen to minimize view obstructions and increase the amount of usable square feet. Our living room is spacious enough to accommodate a sofa, a small coffee table, and a bigger dining table with chairs located near the window. Also, to improve the usability of the area, we positioned a storage space in the middle, fostering an organized and clutter-free environment.

ADU Style

The overall style of our 500 square feet unit incorporates neutral colors with a bright yellow accent manifested in sofa upholstery and cushions. We also used pleasant-to-touch and textured materials to enhance the sense of coziness. The wood flooring adds warmth and a cohesive feel to the ADU. Besides, the generous amount of natural light improves the overall mood of the space.
