— Accessory Dwelling Units

ADU Design for Utah Homeowners

Detached backyard units, garage conversions and basement apartments, designed to fit your lot and shown in full 3D before construction begins.

Who It's For

More Space for Family, Guests or Rental Income

An accessory dwelling unit adds a complete, independent living space to your property. It can house a family member, welcome long-term guests, provide a private home office or create a source of rental income.

We design ADUs that make the most of your lot and complement your existing home, with every room planned and reviewed in 3D before you build.

I have worked with a lot of construction workers and I have to say that Dave is one of the top ones! He helped us with our pool house. He is so patient, knowledgeable, responsive, etc. And nobody beats his price. I recommend him 100% with no reservations!

Questions

ADU Design FAQ

What types of ADUs do you design?

We design detached backyard units, garage conversions and apartments, and basement apartments, as well as related outbuildings such as pool houses.

How much does ADU design cost?

At Vizzi Design, ADU, detached cottage, and garage apartment design fees typically range from $2 to $3 per square foot, depending on project complexity (with a small-project minimum). Your first consultation is free, and you will receive a clear fixed-fee written quote for your project before work begins.

Can you convert my garage or basement into an ADU?

Yes. We measure the existing space on site and design the conversion around it, so the plans reflect your home exactly as it is today.

Are ADUs allowed in my city?

ADU rules, such as size limits, setbacks and parking, vary by city. We will review the requirements for your property during your consultation.

Can I see the ADU before it is built?

Yes. Every project includes a 3D model and a walkthrough link, so you can explore the unit before construction begins.
