New American ADU with a Cozy Corner Porch, 564 Square Feet

564 sq ft · 1 bed · 1 bath · 1 story · 22' 6" wide × 27' 6" deep · Plans from $995

This compact one-bedroom ADU suits a household looking for a practical home with an easy-to-use layout. Its welcoming front porch and open kitchen and living area make the most of 564 square feet.

• Board-and-batten siding and two large windows in the front gable give the exterior a straightforward, welcoming character. The covered entry porch creates a sheltered place to arrive.
• The kitchen and living room share an open space at the front of the home, where the gable windows bring in natural light. A 9-foot ceiling adds room overhead.
• The bedroom is set at the back and connects directly to the bathroom. A closet and laundry access from the bedroom keep everyday tasks close at hand.
• Laundry is on the main level and accessible from the bedroom suite. There is no garage, keeping the plan focused on its compact living spaces.
• The 54-square-foot front porch extends the entry outdoors and offers a small spot to sit or pause before coming inside.
• Foundation options include a monolithic slab, a slab, or a crawl space. This gives builders flexibility to choose an approach suited to the site.
