We have been working with great care and attention on our newest space called Casa Zama. Zama means "dawn" in Mayan, and was the original name for the town of Tulum on the Caribbean Sea, the place that first received sunlight in the Mayan kingdom each day. We want Casa Zama to be a place to rest, rise and shine at the dawn of each day. At 300 square feet, this unit is a larger version of the Zen Den with full bath, kitchen and living space.

The Lalit
After the success of the Zen Den, we expanded our studio to accommodate a bed, bath and kitchen and create a full suite. At 250 sq ft this studio can be used as an in-law suite, an Airbnb rental, or a backyard retreat. Pronounced Laleet, this name in Hindi means beauty and elegance, and is the name of a traditional song played at the dawn of day for serenity. It's the perfect name for the inspiration behind this design.

The Zen Den
The Zen Den was our first design, a studio space to work and create. 170 square feet of elevating space with heated floors make this a cozy space for an office, she-shed, reading room, exercise room, or whatever you desire. Without a bathroom or plumbing, and being less than 200 sf, this unit is easy to permit in most towns as an accessory unit.

How it Works
We defined four steps to keep it super simple for you.
Confirm Fit
Review your local permitting and site access to confirm this solution works for you.
Customize Your Design
Customize your design with us and select elements from our materials catalogue -- windows, flooring, heating/cooling, and siding. Then place your order. We will produce detailed design documents for permitting and construction. We will construct your unit within 6-8 weeks.
Lay the Foundation & Connection
Meanwhile, we will arrange to have your foundation poured and lay the utility connections for the studio.
Delivery & Placement
We will deliver your Studio to your home and place it on the foundation. After connecting the utilities, it is ready to occupy.
SUPER SIMPLE SETUP
Our offsite construction makes delivery and installation an easy plug and play solution that avoids all the interruptions and management associated with traditional building methods. No need to manage contractors, change orders, or inflating invoices, while your yard becomes a muddy construction site.
FOUR-SEASON COMFORT
We use the highest quality and most innovative building materials on the market, starting with Structural Insulated Panels to create a seamless building envelope, and integrating elements like graphine heated floors that provide the highest energy efficiency. We designed the space precisely to endure winters and maintain comfort in four-seasons.
BRIGHT, ELEVATING DESIGN
We customize each studio, turning your dreams into our designs, to produce beautiful, functional, down-to-earth spaces that prioritize your well-being. Our designs take advantage of the opportunity to create a container in closer proximity to nature, and then support our relationship with it.

“I just had a moment of awe looking towards all of these incredible windows; the fall colors coming to life just outside this clean, pure space. What a juxtaposition. The wild and the meticulous creative spirit at work. It’s like images of architecture amidst nature. Always my favorite. ”
