HOW IT WORKS:
Upon purchasing a set of conceptual design plans, you will be provided with a download link to access a PDF format package of drawings. The ADU Concept Package is a preliminary set of drawings and renderings that provide a thorough illustration of the conceptual accessory dwelling unit design. The ADU Concept Floor Plan is a ‘trimmed-down’ version of the Concept Package available at a reduced rate. These dimensioned plans and renderings can be used for space planning, design inspiration, and initial project budgeting. Please note that this is only a preliminary set as it lacks the necessary details, notes, and structural information needed for permitting and construction. The ADU Complete Package (full-service plans) is also available for customers building in California.
WILDFIRE-RESISTANT FEATURES:
Also, in an effort to support local communities that are vulnerable to wildfires, The Modern Skillion design will incorporate the building features needed to certify the unit as a Wildfire Prepared Home! This is a program of the Insurance Institute for Business & Home Safety that aims to help homeowners take the most critical actions to protect their home.
- Mono roof (avoid debris accumulation)
- Unvented attic (avoid ember intrusion)
- Class A metal roofing
- Enclosed eaves
- Fiber cement and metal panel siding
- Tempered exterior glazing
Discounts on this ADU Concept Package are also available for homeowners affected by recent wildfires. Message directly for additional information, and please feel free to reach out if you have any questions.
CURIOUS ABOUT THE NAME?
The term skillion refers to the type of roof designed atop this modern ADU. Also known as a shed roof or a mono-pitched roof, the skillion roof is famous for its simple, efficient form. It also provides the opportunity to install additional clerestory windows on the tall side of the vaulted structure for even more natural light!
