Can an ADU be bigger than your house?

• <div><p>Local regulations dictate how big an ADU can be, and there may also be restrictions on the percentage of the main residence’s square footage an ADU can have. In most cases, an ADU must be smaller than the main residence, but check with your local building authority to confirm restrictions on ADU size.</p></div>

What style of house has a cupola?

• <div><p>As mentioned above, cupolas are popular for barns to keep hay dry and ventilate smelly air. However, they go back to the 8th century, and you’ll find them across different styles of architecture. For example, you might see them in the Greek Revival style. You can add a cupola to almost any style of house. </p></div>

Q: What is the average size of a pool house?

• <div><p>The average size of a pool house is between 180 and 220 square feet. Small pool sheds may only be 25 to 50 square feet, while luxury pool houses you can use as a guest house can sit between 200 and 400 square feet. Consider what you&rsquo;ll use the space for and how much of your yard it will take up when deciding on the right size for your project.</p></div>

Q: How much space do you need for a guest house?

• <div><p>The average guest house is between 600 and 1,500 square feet. If you are unsure of how large you should build it, a good basic rule is to have one bedroom for every two occupants, at minimum. Generally, one bedroom for every one to two people is a good ratio. </p></div>

Q: Where can you find carriage houses?

• <div><p>In the U.S., original and converted carriage houses are most often found in New England, New York, and other parts of the Northeast. New construction carriage houses can be found across the country, and are often added to properties with Colonial-style homes for additional living, storage, or work space, although they can be found in many different styles.</p></div>
