Intended use

What This Home Is Built For.

Each model is designed around a particular kind of use. These are the applications the design is built for, and the questions worth settling before you commit to a property.

  1. 01, ADU

    An additional dwelling unit

    A separate, self-contained home on a property that already has a house, for family, for rental, or for long-term flexibility.

  2. 02, Garden Suite

    A garden suite

    A compact home set into the yard, scaled to the space behind or beside the main house.

  3. 03, Vacation Home

    A vacation home

    A comfortable base for part of the year, with the amenities of a house rather than a cabin.

What may be placed on a property, and how it may be used, is set by the local authority and the applicable building standard. We help you confirm this early, before a design is finalised.
