About the Modern farmhouse 3BR ADU
How it's designed
A modern farmhouse detached backyard ADU, 1,000 sq ft inside, wide and shallow in shape: 3 bedrooms and 2 baths, an open layout with a full kitchen, a laundry room and 9 ft ceilings.
Outside: a gable roof in standing-seam metal, board and batten siding in white with black trim, standard windows in black frames, a french doors entry and a small covered porch.
Inside: standard finishes in a farmhouse style, wood-look vinyl floors, white shaker cabinets, butcher block counters and a tub + shower. Heating and cooling by a ducted heat pump.
Pictured with dusk light, lush garden landscaping, front view and minimal styling, staged as an in-law suite. The setting is styling only, not part of the design or the estimate.

Want to build it?
We'll match you with a licensed designer and builder in your area and coordinate the project. Free consult, no obligation.
Licensed partner designers and builders do the design and construction, and the builder holds the construction contract. Partners are signed in some areas so far; elsewhere we'll tell you plainly what we can do.
Pictures and the 3D are conceptual. A licensed designer turns a design idea into real drawings, and the city or county approves them. More ADU design ideas
