Plús Hús Oasis

Minarc Group as Architects

A 16’ x 20’ accessory dwelling unit (ADU) created using high-efficiency prefab building material and custom features to accommodate different needs and styles provides a detached private space on one’s property to create affordable rental space. By making the processes of installing an ADU easy and simple for the homeowners – this is a viable solution for affordable housing.

Sustainability is an integral part of the design goal and is intended to be simplistic and caters to the needs of the owner. Our specific ADU also employs cost-effective, innovative design and construction, including sustainable development utilizing the prefab building material. Our ADU sets a new standard for prefabricated building methods with the use of this revolutionary panel system that can be assembled anywhere, no heavy-duty cranes necessary. The modular panel system is locally made, 30% recycled content, and energy efficient. This groundbreaking system eliminates waste, does not support fire or use of dyes, formaldehyde and Molten-Carbonate Fuel Cells. The extremely high insulation value minimizes energy usage and associated costs, resulting in a structure that is 40%more efficient than a traditionally built home.
