Attached additions need privacy and continuity at the same time.

An attached ADU can be ideal when homeowners want close access for family, a more efficient use of land, or a living space that shares part of the existing home infrastructure. Vancouver ADU a division of Hammer Falls Construction approaches attached additions with attention to flow, privacy, structure, and exterior continuity.

An attached ADU should connect cleanly to the existing home while still giving occupants independence. The design must solve entries, sound, windows, rooflines, exterior materials, and how the new space changes the home’s daily flow.

Planning details

What matters before the build starts.

  • Where the addition connects to the existing home and how the entry will function.
  • Structural tie-ins, roof integration, drainage, and exterior material matching.
  • Privacy between the ADU and main home, including sound, doors, and window placement.
  • Kitchen, bath, sleeping area, and living space layout within the addition footprint.

Best fit
