Is this the right plan for you?

Most regret comes from buying a plan that doesn't fit your life. Skim this before you decide.

Great fit if you…
  • Need a dedicated home office or studio space on a small footprint (178 sq ft total with office/study)
  • Working with a tight or irregularly shaped lot — design is under 39 ft width and depth
  • Seeking a guest cottage, rental studio, or ADU for your property (single-story, minimalist design)
! May not be the best fit if you…
  • Need bedroom and bathroom space — this 178 sq ft plan has neither
  • Want a spacious living environment — this is a compact studio design below 800 sq ft
  • Require foundation slab — this plan uses pier construction
