ADUs & Home Additions in Sunnyvale, CA

More space. More value. Designed properly.

Sunnyvale ADU construction has accelerated as homeowners recognize the income potential and the multi-generational living value. Ranch homes on 6,000-8,000 sq ft lots can typically accommodate either a JADU within the existing footprint or a small detached ADU in the rear yard. City of Sunnyvale has been aligned with state law on ADU streamlining.

We design Sunnyvale ADUs to be genuinely livable — 600-800 sq ft units with proper kitchen layouts, bathrooms that aren’t squeezed, and enough natural light to feel residential rather than institutional. Garage conversions work well in Sunnyvale, and we approach these with the same design attention as any new construction ADU.

Home additions in Sunnyvale are also feasible on many lots — room additions and covered patio extensions are the most common. We assess every site and tell you what’s actually buildable under the current rules.
