Backyard Cottages
& In-Law Suites

Adding an in-law suite gives your property space to grow. These secondary units are perfect for multi-generational living, guest accommodations, or a private retreat. At Schulte Design Build, we design with intention so every cottage or suite feels comfortable, functional, and fully integrated with your home. Built with precision and care, these spaces provide flexibility today and long-term value for the future.

Designed for Today and Tomorrow

Building an ADU or DADU is about creating options for the future. These units provide a sustainable way to meet modern housing needs without changing the character of your neighborhood. They allow homeowners to maximize their lot, add livable square footage, and create spaces that can grow with them over time. Whether for rental income, family use, or resale value, a carriage home is a solution that blends practicality with long-term vision.
