Objectives of Converting Existing Structures
The objectives of converting existing structures encompass a range of goals aimed at repurposing and revitalizing buildings to meet new requirements, enhance functionality, and contribute to sustainability. Here are the primary objectives of converting existing structures:
- Modify the structure to accommodate new and evolving functional requirements.
- Retain and preserve the historical, architectural, or cultural significance of the existing structure.Minimize environmental impact by efficiently using existing materials and resources.
- ADUs are self-contained living units that are secondary to the primary residence on a single-family property. They can be either attached or detached structures and serve as independent living spaces.
- The primary goal is to repurpose and optimize existing structures on a property to create additional, fully functional living spaces.
- Garages, basements, workshops, or unused outbuildings are commonly converted into ADUs.
- Utilities such as water, electricity, and sewage need to be appropriately connected to the existing structure to ensure the ADU functions independently.
