Make Space for Joy

Designed to Uplift

The Zen Den was our first design, a studio space to work and create. 200 square feet of elevating space with heated floors make this a cozy backyard retreat for an office, she-shed, reading room, exercise room, or whatever you desire. With an optional bathroom, it transforms into the perfect guest bedroom. This quick, turnkey solution brings both function and tranquility to your backyard. What’s more Zen than that?

Rest and Rejuvenate

Designed to Revitalize

After the success of the Zen Den, we expanded our studio to accommodate a bed, bath and kitchen and create a full ADU suite. At 250 SF this ADU 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, a small home solution that supports rest and rejuvenation.

Rise and Shine

Designed to Inspire

We worked with great care and attention on this prefab ADU inspired but the Mayan word "Zama," meaning "dawn", which was the original name of the town of Tulum on the Caribbean Sea, the place that first received sunlight in the Mayan kingdom each day. We want this modular backyard retreat to be a place to rest, rise and shine at the dawn of each day. At 300 SF, this prefab ADU is a larger version of the Zen Den with full bath, kitchen and living space. Casa Zama is a perfect turnkey small home solution with a quick build process.

A Magical Retreat

Designed to Enchant

Our newest ADU speaks to enchantment, family, and memories. Yes, it’s the title of a Disney movie, but nobody owns language or the right to make magic. We crafted this ADU with extended families in mind because our modular ADUs are being used more and more to house parents, siblings, and young adults. It’s a beautiful thing to watch families come together, with the possibility of proximity while retaining privacy. This modular backyard home was meticulously crafted to enchant and delight at every turn. It's sized as a small home for both a private retreat and a place to make memories with the ones you love.

The Promise of a New Day

Designed to be Dynamic

Our newest ADU is named Sahar, an Arabic word that means "just before dawn". We've all experienced the peace and tranquility of that time just before the sun rises. We draw from this inspiration as we build these customizable ADUs and create a place rise to the promise of a new day. At 420 SF or 550 SF, this prefab ADU has a spacious bathroom, 1 or 2 separate bedrooms, kitchen and living space. The L-shaped design creates a unique space that separates living from sleeping, making for a more dynamic layout.

Customer Use Cases

Martha's Vineyard
Pool House

There are so many features we love about this pool house we built and delivered by ferry to a family's summer home on the island of Martha's Vineyard: a 10’ tri-fold door by @pellawindows Architect Series; a bar with live-edge walnut from western MA and Pella pass through awning; off-grid Cinderella incinerating toilet; vintage white granite from India; custom Teak cabinetry; the list goes on. We were able to build this at a fraction of the cost compared to local building costs. Check out some photos and videos, from delivery to walk through.

We built this ADU for our client's father moving from Peru to retire at his daughter's home in Bloomington, IN. The Lalit is designed to maximize functionality in just 250 sq ft, offering a complete suite that includes a bed, bath, and kitchen. When not in use by family, it doubles as an Airbnb rental or a serene backyard retreat. The space features impressive high ceilings spanning 25 feet, creating an expansive atmosphere.
