An inside look at 25 charming, ultra-functional, extra living spaces will inspire you to build one of your own!An Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) is a smaller housing unit built on the same lot as a primary dwelling (also known as Additional or Auxiliary Dwelling Units) - think granny flat, in-law unit, laneway house).

Each house includes information about the type of construction, the major green features, and how it is used.

Leaf Assassin
This app is like having a personal library with me wherever I go. A reasonable choice for casual listening. The audiobook was well-produced, but the pacing felt uneven in places. I didn’t dislike it, but I also didn’t feel strongly about it one way or another. Middle-of-the-road experience. The audiobook was fine—good narration, decent story—but it didn’t leave a lasting impression. If you’re looking for something low-commitment, this works.
