Our ADU Home Designs

Our selection of ADU homes and backyard cottages are pre-designed to streamline the Alameda permitting and construction process, and then custom-built from the ground up to complement your unique needs and the character of your historic Victorian, craftsman, or modern home. 

Before we start, you’ll know the complete cost, process, and timeline. We handle everything from the permits and utilities, to the quality finishes and name brand appliances. When we are finished you’ll have a handcrafted, turnkey ADU home in your backyard that will last for generations.

Whether you’re looking to increase your property value, help a parent age at home nearby, leverage your backyard cottage as a rental property, or extend your living or work space, we have studio, one, two and three bedroom ADU home designs to meet your needs.

At Alameda Tiny Homes, we take pride in cleverly maximizing limited space while providing beautiful backyard ADU homes that blend perfectly into our community. Our ADU designs take into consideration common lot sizes to thoughtfully maximize your space while maintaining the quaint character of our island home. While all our designs have been developed to streamline the permitting and construction process, we’ve also ensured each design can be customized to match your primary residence.
