Small-footprint builds designed to live big — guest cottages, ADUs, and full-time tiny houses.
Proud Member High Country HBA Home Builders Association Google Reviews 5.0 Based on 5 reviews Different reasons for building small, and a different set of requirements behind each one.
A separate small structure for visitors, close enough to the main house to be easy.
A permitted second dwelling on your lot — for family, for rental income, or both.
A small house built to live in year-round, insulated and detailed for mountain winters.
A small house is not a simpler house. Every square foot has to do more than one job, storage has to be designed rather than added, and the mechanical systems still have to meet code and survive a High Country winter.
Whether it is a guest cottage behind the main house, an accessory dwelling for family, or a full-time residence, the build gets the same attention as a home ten times the size.
