Yakov Design is a design and development company providing planning, designing, drafting, permitting and other services. Our key specialty is ADU designing. We handle every step of the project on the client’s behalf, and strive to make their designing experience streamlined, as easy as possible, and free of unpleasant surprises.

Our design philosophy highlights comfort, functionality and ease of construction as key goals. For this ADU, the primary goal was to create an economical design at just under 500 sq. feet, and ensure maximum efficiency. The 500 sq. feet of roof area enables a significantly easier approval process, and avoids low-impact development (LID) altogether, ensuring that the project development will be highly efficient and low cost. Combining that with the high energy efficiency and affordable material choice makes this ADU offer one of the most economical choices to build, but also to own.

The Interior

The interior feels open and spacious, with only two interior walls, and presents enough room for a small family. The living area and kitchen space are connected seamlessly, and make household activities more casual and social. Since the living area is positioned on the opposite end of the bedroom and bathroom, occupants can enjoy considerable privacy. Another element worth noting is that the ADU comes with essential household appliances, and the material finish is left to the owner's personal taste.

The Exterior

The exterior style is modern, with a low profile flat roof. This style bolsters the low construction cost and high energy efficiency of the home. To improve comfort and functionality, there's a patio area outdoors, which is perfect for leisure, guests, or family time. The patio complements the small floor plan and gives the occupants considerable outdoor freedom. The design holds three doors, one traditional door, and two sliding doors in the living and bedroom areas. The ADU was designed to feel open and functional, and additional entrances reduce indoor traffic.
