Floor plans for a one-bedroom guest house with kitchen, bathroom, and attic in Berkeley

Patricia, a homeowner in Berkeley, asked New Avenue to create an accessory dwelling unit that would fit in her backyard. The new space could serve as a guest house, storage, extra space for the homeowner, or a rental unit, depending on Patricia’s current needs.

If Patricia rents out her new ADU, she can use the rental income to pay for the mortgage on the main home and the mortgage on the ADU. Or she can use the money to cover other expenses such as education, travel, retirement…anything she needs now or in the future.

Here are the floorplans and elevations for Patricia’s new ADU in Berkeley:
