AARP: Home Visit : Detached Bedroom ADU. A detached bedroom, such as this one in St. Petersburg, Florida, contains a bathroom but no kitchen. It can provide housing for a loved one or serve as a home office or guest cottage. (senior housing)

While not technically ADUs, tiny houses can serve similar purposes. Because tiny houses — such as the 100-square-foot- "Lucky Penny," pictured — are build on a trailer with wheels rather than on a fixed foundation, they are typically classified as recreational vehicles (RVs) rather than permanent residences. Although tiny homes are usually smaller than 400 square feet, many of them do contain a kitchen and bathroom.
