Four ways to make Laurel feel at home
Farmhouse
Farmhouse gives Laurel a brighter, more architectural profile with board-and-batten siding, simple gable forms, warm neutral finishes, and a clean front porch composition. It is a strong fit for buyers who want a fresh, approachable ADU with enough detail to feel designed, but not so much contrast that it overwhelms the main home.

Farmhouse light / dark
Modern
Modern sharpens Laurel with darker siding, streamlined trim, large panes of glass, and a more minimal material language that makes the compact footprint feel intentional and refined. It is best when the ADU is meant to read as crisp, contemporary, and design-forward while still using a proven Laurel plan underneath.

Craftsman
Craftsman gives Laurel a warm, grounded presence with lap siding, shake accents, divided-lite windows, and a front entry that feels familiar from the street. It works especially well where the ADU should feel neighborly and established, with material details that add texture without making the design feel busy.

Traditional
Traditional keeps Laurel quiet and compatible, using smooth lap siding, balanced trim, single-hung windows, and familiar roof proportions to settle easily into existing neighborhoods. It is the most adaptable look when the goal is approval-friendly curb appeal, long-term resale confidence, and a calm exterior that supports many property styles.
