What’s the best way to build a casita? Anyone considering adding a casita or accessory dwelling unit to your backyard has asked this question at some point. When you’re looking to build a guest house, home office, gym, or pool house in your backyard, finding the best way to build a casita requires examining your unique property and neighborhood.
How Ash Creek Builds Casitas
At Ash Creek Homes, our Creative Casitas simplify the building journey for our homeowners. We have always designed and built homes using high-quality materials and time-trusted techniques that will last for generations, and it’s what we do best. We don’t plan to change that anytime soon!
So, we build our casitas using the same traditional, site-specific construction methods we’ve used to build homes for over forty years. This is the best way to build a casita, as it ensures we achieve three things.
- No planning headaches for the homeowner We design our Creative Casitas to conform to the property’s HOA rules and local zoning requirements. We research the zoning, HOA, and permitting requirements before we begin a casita.
- No sacrificing in the name of one-size-fits-all Creative Casitas meet the needs of each homeowner’s unique properties and project goals. Using traditional construction gives us flexibility with the placement of the casita, the floorplan, and the structural options. This flexibility allows us to retain trees, navigate unique topographical features, and build a casita that provides all our homeowner’s needs.
- No mismatched back houses Creative Casitas complement the existing primary residence, so they look like they have always belonged on the property. Using high-quality materials and employing trusted vendors, we seamlessly fit each casita and build them so they never look like an afterthought.
Can You Compare this Method to Modular Options?
Modular casitas are built in a factory or warehouse and transported, assembled, and installed on the homeowner’s property. They typically offer little customization, aren’t designed to fit the lot’s topography, and typically look aesthetically different from the primary residence. Adding a modular casita also comes with challenging zoning laws and complex HOA regulations restricting their installation. Because every homesite features property-specific utility, foundation, topographical, zoning, and permitting requirements, there is not a One House Fits All option that works for everyone all the time.
