Our collection of mini home designs begins with standard shed dimensions
—reimagined to create spaces that feel warm, efficient, and like home. Designed for flexibility, each model works as a retreat, studio, garage apartment, or home, adapting easily to a wide range of lifestyles and uses. Every design carefully balances the use of space, abundant light, and clean, modern lines —with thoughtful customization options available. |

The Ridge represents our most innovative approach to maximizing both living space and functionality within a compact footprint. This unique stacked design combines the serene single-story living of The Meadow with the practical storage solutions of our garage addition, creating a multi-level home that offers the best of both worlds. The Ridge is perfect for those who want the accessibility of single-story living while maximizing their property's potential through intelligent vertical design.

basecamp
The Base represents the foundation of our innovative modular living system. Designed as your essential base camp, this thoughtfully crafted core module provides all the fundamentals of comfortable living while serving as the perfect foundation for expansion with Nest modules.
The Base proves that smart design creates endless possibilities for growth and adaptation as your life evolves. |
|
The Base+Nest can be implemented in two ways: as a connected structure where both modules share utilities and access, or as separate but coordinated buildings that create a compound-style living arrangement. This flexibility allows for phased construction or different uses for each module.

Expand Your Camp

The Nest represents the perfect expansion module for our modular living system.
Designed to seamlessly integrate with either The Base or The Meadow, The Nest adds functionality and an enhanced living space to your compound or campground. This versatile module proves that thoughtful expansion can multiply your living possibilities while maintaining the intimate, intentional character. |
An Integrated Element of the Viewpoint & Ridge Houses
The Garage Model is designed as a companion structure to our Viewpoint and Ridge House mini homes—providing essential utility. The garage supports the primary residence without competing with it. The main bay offers secure vehicle storage, gear space, or workshop use, while the rear can include a compact bathroom and a flex room that can serve as a home office, bedroom, or secure storage. |

Designed with Zoning in Mind
Our mini homes are thoughtfully sized and designed to align with many local zoning and accessory structure regulations, making them well-suited for use as Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs), guest houses, studios, and flexible backyard buildings.
By starting with familiar shed-based footprints and refining them into high-performance living spaces, our designs often integrate more smoothly into residential settings—both visually and at a planning level.
What This Means
- Compact footprints that commonly fall within ADU or accessory structure size thresholds
- Flexible interior layouts that can support living, working, or storage uses
- Single-story and low-profile designs that respect neighborhood scale
- Utility-ready planning, with options for bathroom, kitchenette, and mechanical systems where permitted
- Adaptable siting, suitable for backyards, side lots, or rural properties
|
Zoning requirements vary by location, and final approvals always rest with local jurisdictions.
We work with builders and partners to provide precise drawings and design information that help support conversations with planners, lenders, and contractors. Our goal is to make the process a little easier —by designing homes that are practical, flexible, and easier to place. |
