What is an ADU?

An Accessory Dwelling Unit, or ADU, is a second private living area that shares common space with the main house. An ADU may be attached to the main house or detached from it. It may have its own kitchen, bathroom, living room, and bedroom or just one or two of these rooms. The size of an ADU depends on local regulations and property zoning laws.

Benefits of an Accessory Dwelling Unit IN kEnya

Cities in Kenya that are overcrowded are resorting to ADUs to create more alternatives for affordable housing for neighborhoods. While there are many advantages for owners, this can also greatly help your neighborhood. They not only raise the value of your property but also present a chance for ongoing income if the area is rented. As they make the ideal private area for college students or can be used as a mother-in-law suite, they can also be used as extra space for family and guests. They are particularly helpful if you have a sizable lot and wish to increase the value of your property.

Accessory Dwelling Unit vs Room Addition

ADU homes – otherwise known as granny flats or mother-in-law houses – are new structures that are attached or detached from the existing residence. It acts as a stand-alone home with its own kitchen, bath, bedroom and living space. An accessory dwelling unit can act as a guest house, rental unit, separate living or workspace, or pool house.

A room addition, on the other hand, is where a single-family home’s main structure is expanded for additional square footage. These projects are often done to enlarge a kitchen, family room or master bedroom – or to add a new bedroom and/or bathroom. This construction can also include building a second or third story.

Frequently asked questions about ADU Contruction

How should I design my ADU?

Designing your ADU can be daunting and there are a lot of different styles.

Finding a style that opens up space is essential when working with smaller spaces.

Below are some tips and tricks that you can keep in mind during your design process:

Since your space is smaller think about using vertical space to open up a room.
Make sure you take advantage of natural light by incorporating windows and skylights into your design. Natural light will make your space feel larger.
Include furniture that can have multiple functions, such as furniture that doubles as a storage space.
Make sure you account for the loss of space with multiple bookshelves and organizers for extra storage.
