Essential 320

The Essential 320 is a compact, efficient ADU designed to make the most of a modest footprint while maintaining a calm, livable interior. With a balanced layout, generous natural light, and simplified finish options, it offers a flexible space that works well as a guest suite, home office, or rental unit. The design prioritizes clarity and ease; streamlined construction, thoughtful proportions, and materials selected for everyday use, making the Essential 320 a smart option for homeowners who want a modern backyard addition without the complexity of a fully custom build.

The plan is organized around efficiency without feeling compressed. Circulation is minimized, allowing more of the square footage to be used for living rather than hallways, while each zone is clearly defined and easy to understand at a glance. Kitchen, bath, and utility elements are aligned to simplify construction and reduce redundancy, creating a layout that is both economical and highly functional. This clarity in planning allows the Essential 320 to adapt easily to different uses, whether as a short term guest space, long-term living, or a quiet workspace.
