Calvin Mcguire – October 23, 2023
Having grown tired of surprise extras, we loved that the options were genuinely included: alternate roof pitch, bonus-room layout, and side-entry garage sheets all came standard. The CAD layers were so clean the interior designer added built-in shelves and a hidden pantry door without fuss.

A compact, durable, and highly efficient ADU designed with classic proportions, a hip roofline, and a low-maintenance masonry exterior—ideal as a guest suite, backyard casita, or standalone accessory structure.
