NIDO
A modern studio ADU — a cozy nest that lives far larger than its footprint.
Small footprint,
generous living.
Nido makes the most of every square foot with a warm, efficient plan that never feels tight. Big glazing pulls the outdoors in, while a considered layout keeps living, sleeping, and cooking distinct. The right-sized home for a couple, a getaway, or a rentable retreat.

What Nido costs.
- Shipping and sales tax not included in base unit price.
- Assembly cost varies with regional labor rates, site topography, storage room for components, and similar factors.
- Total unit investment does not include site costs — concrete or steel foundation, utility hook-ups, MEP, and other services required to complete the kit.
All pricing is subject to change every 30 days based on material and vendor pricing and availability.
Everything in every Nido.
Not every prefab company tells you what's actually in the price. We do — down to the fixtures, finishes, and hardware.

Design
Architect-designed proportions, expansive glazing, and warm natural materials define every Nido. Every sightline is composed to frame the landscape rather than compete with it, and the palette is chosen to weather gracefully over decades. Nothing is decorative for its own sake.
Comfort
An efficient kitchen, full bath, and a considered layout make the most of 650 sq ft. Generous storage and quiet, well-sealed rooms keep it comfortable in every season, and every unit ships heat-pump-ready and all-electric. The plan flexes easily between full-time living and the occasional weekend escape.
Sustainability
A high-performance, continuous-insulation envelope exceeds IECC standards, with no-VOC, formaldehyde-free materials throughout. Every Nido is pre-wired for solar and battery storage and ready to accept rainwater and greywater systems, so going off-grid is an upgrade rather than a retrofit.
Quality
Factory-built with precision panelized components for a tighter, more durable build. Because it goes together indoors under controlled conditions, your home avoids the weather exposure and variability of site construction. The result is tighter tolerances, better air-sealing, and a structure engineered to last for generations.
Let's build something extraordinary together.
