Design study · specifications pending

A visual direction to adapt to your property.

Developed from a supplied two-storey house framing reference. This is a visual design study, not a measured ADU plan. Floor area, footprint, bedroom and bathroom counts, pricing, structural design, and ADU eligibility have not been established. Finishes, glazing details, interiors, and landscaping are proposed; the images may differ from the source geometry. Automatic map placement and configuration pricing are unavailable for this concept.
