San Francisco Bay Area
Junior ADU Conversions
Explore a junior ADU within a Bay Area single-family home, including a separate entry, compact kitchen and bathroom arrangement.
A compact dwelling inside the home
A junior accessory dwelling unit uses space within a single-family residence and includes an efficiency kitchen. An attached garage may be a candidate, while a freestanding garage calls for a different ADU discussion.
Entrances and shared spaces
Mark the proposed entrance and show how the main household would reach its remaining rooms. Compare a dedicated bathroom with a possible shared-bath arrangement and ask the team to review the implications for privacy and interior access.
Would turning a bedroom into a guest suite create a JADU?
A guest suite by itself does not establish a junior ADU. Share your plan for the entrance, cooking facilities and bathroom so the design team can review the intended use and the local application path.
