Luxury Residential · Casitas & ADUs
A complete residence, at casita scale.
Guest houses, ADUs, and casitas — designed, permitted, and built with the same discipline as the main house.
A casita is a whole house that happens to be small: foundation, roof, kitchen or kitchenette, bath, HVAC, and its own code and utility questions. Treating it as a shed with plumbing is how casitas turn into regrets.
We design and build casitas as complete residences — guest quarters, family housing, home offices, or rental units — with utility routing, separate metering options, and privacy from the main house planned from the first drawing. Arizona's ADU rules are evolving in your favor; we'll tell you exactly what your lot allows.

Questions, answered
Are ADUs allowed on my lot?
Increasingly, yes — Arizona and Valley municipalities have opened ADU rules substantially. We confirm your specific zoning, setbacks, and size limits in feasibility before design money is spent.
Can a casita be rented?
Often, subject to city and HOA rules. If rental income is the goal, we design for it — separate entry, sound isolation, metering — and tell you the constraints straight.
What does a casita cost?
Small buildings carry full-building costs — kitchen and bath density is what drives it. Feasibility gives you a real envelope before you commit.
