Whether by choice or by force, our lifestyles have changed. We’ve confronted unpredictable challenges, including soaring housing and living costs, and embraced innovative solutions. Cue the ADU: <ul><li>Typically described as a self-contained structure on the same property as a single-family home, ADUs range in size from 400 to 1,200 square feet.</li><li>They generally include a kitchen, living area, and separate entrance.</li><li>Their efficient use of residential areas, contribution to the housing pool, and provisions for additional income for homeowners make ADUs a welcome addition to life in the new normal.</li></ul><br><b>Whether used as a rental property, an office, or for intergenerational housing, the ADU has never made more sense.</b> This practical and vibrant exploration of ADUs combines beautifully photographed profiles and essays on maximizing space, aging in place, and the next generation of ADU design. Dive into the pages of <i>Making Space</i> to learn about and be inspired by the creativity, flexibility, and opportunities these intentional and efficient living spaces present for homeowners, designers, and urban planners.<br><br>THE BOOK WE NEED NOW: A snapshot of our current lifestyles shows that work-from-home remains prevalent, from one to four days a week; one in five households has two adult generations living together; and our aging population hopes to “age in place,” ideally providing a separate space for a live-in caregiver.
