We simply don’t have enough housing in the Bay Area. And the work from home phenomenon seems like it’s here to stay. We need new and different spaces.

ADUs, or accessory dwelling units, are an increasingly popular response to both of these things (they’re also great as teen hangouts and for visiting family). 

Thanks to recent changes in state law and local permit regulations, it is becoming easier for homeowners to make an ADU happen.

 That is why I got very excited when I met David Brown, founder of MESH, which designs and builds custom ADUs and installs H2 Prefab ADUs. 

David is passionate about what he does and has clever ideas for keeping things easy and affordable. 

How we live in our homes — and, in some ways, the nature of housing itself — is changing. David is one of the people leading the charge here. If you’d like to learn more about ADUs, reach out to him. He’s based in Oakland and would love to talk to you.
