Sustainability and Eco-Friendly Designs 

 In 2024, sustainable construction and eco-friendly designs are at the forefront of ADU development. Homeowners are increasingly opting for energy-efficient materials, solar panels, and green roofs. These features not only reduce the environmental impact but also offer long-term cost savings. 

 Modular and Prefabricated Units

Modular and prefabricated ADUs are on the rise, offering a quicker and often more affordable alternative to traditional construction. These units can be customized to homeowner’s preferences and are typically constructed off-site, reducing disruption and construction time.

Multifunctional Spaces 

As remote work continues to be prevalent, ADUs are increasingly designed with multifunctional spaces. Units now often include dedicated office spaces, workout areas, or hobby rooms. This versatility makes ADUs an attractive option for a broader range of individuals and families. 

Aging-in-Place Features

With an aging population, ADUs are being designed with aging-in-place features. This includes single-level layouts, wider doorways, and walk-in showers. These features provide a safe and comfortable living space for seniors, allowing them to stay close to family.
