This pre-designed, pre-approved ADU program for the City of Capitola provides flexible housing solutions tailored to small, varied residential lots and coastal topography.

Three base unit types—including a compact micro-unit—are designed to fit a wide range of sites, with the studio plan offered in multiple size variations to maximize adaptability. Each plan is expressed in three distinct architectural styles, using simple shifts in roof form and massing to reflect the character of the surrounding neighborhood without altering core construction systems.

The result is a versatile, approachable ADU program that expands housing opportunities while maintaining Capitola’s unique coastal identity.
