LivingHome 10
Architect:
Plant Design Studio
The thoughtful design of the LivingHome 10 accessory dwelling unit (ADU) packs all the amenities of home into just 496 square feet, making it a perfect addition to almost any property. A full-size kitchen and bathroom separate the private sleeping quarters from the living space, which extends outside onto an optional deck. A multi-slide glass entry and tall windows fill the home with natural daylight, while a clerestory window maintains privacy in the bedroom. Large enough to comfortably accommodate a queen-size bed, the bedroom also features an optional built-in closet.
Like every LivingHome, the LivingHome 10 is designed to meet net-zero standards and ships complete with best-in-class smart home technology and energy monitoring. It features a compact plumbing and mechanical core that allows the unit to be delivered and assembled on almost any property, then quickly and easily connected to on-site infrastructure.
Note: Renderings show optional built-ins in the living room, which are available as upgrades.
