Start With the “Why”: What Will the ADU Be Used For?

Use case determines design.

Common Rancho Santa Fe ADU goals include: - Guest casita with its own entrance and kitchenette - Long-term family suite with accessibility in mind - Home office/studio with acoustic privacy - Wellness space (gym, yoga studio, sauna zone) - Rental-ready unit (where allowed and desired)(See also: adu construction in La Mesa)

Once you define the use, decisions like parking, storage, and sound control become much clearer.
