Our most compact ADU — 470 sq. ft. of living space with a porch that adds 134 sq. ft. We designed this for simplicity and comfort, with a profile and finish that will fit in with many Florida subdivisions. It's got a classic layout based loosely on the 1913 Sears Modern Home No. 140. The footprint, including the porch, is just under 25'x25', so it will fit on just about any spot of land. Like all our plans, we optimize for straight-forward, low-cost construction.
Whether you’re creating space for family, welcoming guests, generating rental income, or establishing independent living, Zach's Ash provides a solution. It is straightforward to build, rewarding to complete, and efficient to live in. We offer architectural and structural plans for this ADU.
We will provide the level of plans you have selected for a 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom, 467 sq. ft. home.
Like every Mended Oak design, this ADU gives you the freedom to build it yourself or partner with a General Contractor. This plan is approachable and rewarding—perfect for anyone with a bit of confidence in residential construction, even if it’s not your profession. (4 on the Mended Oak Scale)
If you’ve had some hands-on experience, or know someone who does, you’ll find this project brings genuine do-it-yourself satisfaction and steady, achievable progress. Every material and tool you’ll need is readily available to purchase or rent at your local building supply store.
If you decide to build it yourself, we recommend conventional framing. All the walls are straight-forward traditional platform walls. Two mini-splits handle heating and cooling — you can find lots of videos and other forms of DIY instruction for installing mini-splits online.

Subnote: Truss Plans are purchased separately from a truss manufacturer and aren't part of the plan-set price. If you'd like to use trusses, we recommend getting three quotes. (Florida Only: After you pick the one you prefer, we'll give them the design information they need, review their engineered truss package for your home, and update your plans so everything fits together smoothly. Selecting the truss option typically delays delivery by four to six weeks).
