The best ADUs do two things at once. They live beautifully now, and they age well as a property asset. That means cohesive design, smart site planning, and finishes that still look right years from now.
A 2 bedroom ADU creates the most long term flexibility and wealth upside because it works for higher quality tenants, multigenerational living, or a future lifestyle shift, all while reading like a real home on your property.

Recommended 2-Bedroom Rental ADU Models:
A 1 bedroom ADU is often the best balance of footprint, cost, and long term return, giving you a complete home layout that rents well and stays useful for family, guests, or a future downsizing plan.
Recommended 1-Bedroom ADU Model:
1-760: Open, premium layout that feels larger than the square footage and supports strong everyday livability.
A studio ADU is the simplest path to a second asset on your lot, creating income or lifestyle optionality while fitting more properties and keeping the build scope efficient.
Recommended Studio Rental ADU Models:
S-400: Best when flexibility is the priority, with a modern studio layout that works for guests, office use, or longer stays.
S-300: Best when you want the true “second home” feel in a compact footprint that still reads premium on the property.

This is for homeowners who see an ADU as a strategic property upgrade, not just extra space.
The goal is a second unit that matches the main home, protects yard function, and adds long term equity through stronger marketability and optional rental income.
We focus on design cohesion, high quality finishes that age well, and clean permitting with organized plans and final sign offs so the ADU holds value and buyer confidence stays high.
At Contemporary Tiny Homes, we're here to guide you through the step-by-step process, from managing your location's zoning requirements, informing you on financing options, determining the perfect design for you and ultimately building your own high-quality Tiny Home quickly and within a reasonable budget.
01
Our first step is to assess the feasibility of an ADU project on your lot, including zoning laws, soil condition, topography, and access to utilities. With the green light from the site feasibility study, we'll bring your vision to life through design and planning. We have various Tiny Home designs for you to choose from, and you can engage with our architectural team so that your Tiny Home is just the way you want it, while complying with local building codes and regulations.
02
Before construction can begin, we'll obtain the necessary building permits from your municipal authorities. This process involves submitting your plans and ensuring they comply with all local building codes and regulations. Permitting can be complex and time-consuming, but we'll manage every aspect of this critical step for you.
03
With permits in hand, we can commence the construction of your Tiny Home. This phase is where the plans for your new home transition from paper to reality, from the laying of the foundation and framing to the installation of electrical, plumbing, and finishing touches. We’ll communicate often and transparently throughout the construction to keep you informed and to address any inputs, requests, or questions you may have.
04
The last step of the ADU-building journey is the delivery of your new home. We'll invite you for a walkthrough to ensure everything has been completed to your satisfaction and according to the agreed-upon specifications. Once we make any final adjustments, we'll hand in your keys to your new home, marking the completion of the construction process.
Take the first step toward creating a functional, modern ADU for your family.
