Dwell House

Online design journal Dwell has entered the prefab ring. The Dwell House is a 540-square-foot auxiliary dwelling unit (ADU) created and developed in partnership with prefab company Abodu and Danish designers Norm Architects. The House is the outcome of a long-standing commitment to produce better, more affordable housing. It includes a full kitchen, a bathroom, an open floor plan, and luxury materials and fixtures from Dwells broad network of designers. It is built off-site and delivered to your home and can be placed in most backyards, providing the extra space you require without opting for a house hunt or lengthy construction.

In as short as six months, through a procedure that is totally handled by Abodu, it is delivered turnkey with a complete set of equipment. Site preparation in a homeowners backyard takes only a few weeks before building can begin. Before construction starts, the price is fixed at $389,000 (excluding taxes, fees, and special site-specific services outside of Abodus usual scope of performance). The Dwell House is currently for sale in Seattle, the Bay Area, and Los Angeles.
