Detached Backyard ADU Design Ideas That Add Space, Value, and Flexibility
A backyard ADU should feel like its own space while still belonging to the main home. Privacy begins with placement on the property, especially on a single-family lot where distance and orientation matter. A private entry, thoughtful window placement, and layered landscaping help define the space without disconnecting it from the main house. French doors or a carefully positioned door can create a welcoming transition between indoor and outdoor areas while maintaining privacy for guests or renters.
