Elegant and Efficient

We have engineered our cabin to be as affordable as possible while still maintaining a high level of design. Simple details and standard materials help to keep the construction time and costs at a minimum. Generous windows and large sliding glass doors create comfortable spaces that keep you connected to your desert environment.

Compact but Generous

At 800 square feet, this home is big enough to be a primary residence or small enough to be an accessory dwelling unit (ADU). You’ll have a bedroom with plenty of room for a king-size bed, a bathroom that features an oversized shower, plus an open and spacious 18 x 24-foot living area with kitchen and dining. The backbone or spine of the cabin is a simple core unit into which all storage, plumbing and appliances are integrated. Easy to build and easy to use.

Lots of Glass

Over forty percent of our cabin’s exterior wall area is glass. Providing such a generous amount of glass while still complying with California’s strict energy code takes a lot of work. We’ve already done that work for you, so that you can enjoy an abundance of natural light throughout the home while still keeping the energy bills as low as possible.

A Durable Exterior

Our cabin is designed to look good now and to continue looking good for years to come. Because the desert’s dry climate and dramatic temperature swings can wear heavily on exposed surfaces, we’ve wrapped our cabin with exterior materials that are appropriate for the environment and require little if any maintenance over time.

The Total Package

The cabin comes fully equipped with everything that you need to move in. Brand name appliances and plumbing fixtures, plus quality cabinetry are all included in the base cost of the building. Paint colors, bathroom tile selections, cabinet finishes and countertop choices are all flexible. We’ll work with you through the entire design process to achieve your desired aesthetic.

1. Feasibility Study

Before you proceed, make sure you’re aware of all the property development requirements. Every site has its own development standards and permitting requirements associated with it. We’re here to help with that. The first step is to perform a feasibility study on your property to outline the project scope and establish a clear path forward.

2. Planning & Permitting

The cabin is pre-approved, but there is still site-specific planning, and permitting that must happen before construction can begin. From utility connections to septic system design to fire truck access, we handle the entire site planning and permitting process to get your project approved as quickly as possible.

3. Construction

With project approval obtained and the building permit in hand, we continue to work with you throughout the construction process. We will help you find a qualified contractor to ensure your home gets built according to our plans and to your expectations. We are desert local, so we’re able to be on the job site to ensure that the process goes smoothly.

Even with a small home, the design process can be a bit overwhelming. When you are ready to design your home, we provide you with a comprehensive design booklet that simply and clearly outlines all of the details. This booklet helps you understand exactly what you are getting, and helps us understand exactly what you want. You can view a sample of our design booklet through the link below.
