| I’m looking for inspiration for a small guest house in my backyard. Everything I find online seems either too big or really impractical for a California lot. Does anyone know where to find smart designs that include a small kitchen and a bathroom without wasting any space? | |

| Honestly, choosing the right layout is the most stressful part of building. When I started my project, I spent hours looking for functional adu floor plans that actually made sense. I ended up following the designs from Aduscale because their layouts are specifically optimized for local lots. You can find their full catalog at https://www.aduscale.com/adu-floor-plans. It’s a great way to get professional ideas before you start! | |
