ADUs Designed for Better Living

Thoughtfully designed Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) that combine thoughtful architecture, healthier indoor environments, and high-performance construction for every backyard.

Whether you’re creating a guest house, rental unit, home office, or multigenerational living space, every DUST ADU is designed to perform better—for you and for the environment.

Built Beyond Code

We don’t build to the minimum standard. We build for long-term comfort, efficiency, and durability.

A Smarter Investment

An ADU should do more than add square footage.

It should increase your property’s value, reduce operating costs, and provide a comfortable living space for decades.

Our ADUs combine modern architecture with sustainable construction practices to create spaces that are healthier, more efficient, and built to last.

What Makes Our ADUs Different

Instead of generic features, explain why they matter. This aligns with the company’s existing philosophy around Net-Zero, air quality, thermal comfort, and smart home systems.

Use Less Energy

We design high-performance homes that require less energy to heat, cool, and operate. Better envelopes, efficient systems, smart controls, and Net Zero-ready design all work together to reduce consumption without sacrificing comfort.

Live Healthier

A home should support the health of the people inside it. We focus on fresh-air ventilation, filtration, humidity control, indoor air quality monitoring, and thoughtful material selections to create cleaner, healthier indoor environments.

Conserve Water

Water is a resource worth protecting. We capture rainwater for landscape retention and irrigation, while designing for greater water reuse—including non-potable water for irrigation and toilet flushing where appropriate.

Choose Better Materials

We look beyond appearance when selecting materials. Renewable products, durable finishes, advanced framing, and high-performance components help us use materials intentionally while creating homes built to last.

Build to Last

The most sustainable home is one that doesn’t need to be rebuilt. We prioritize resilient building envelopes, moisture management, durability, fire-conscious materials, and proven building-science principles to create homes capable of performing for generations.

Give Back More

Every DUST home gives something back to the earth. For every square foot of livable space we build, we donate a tree to be planted—extending the impact of each home far beyond the property itself.

Construction Expertise Meets Better Home Design

Unlike many ADU builders, our approach is shaped by years of construction management on complex residential developments.

That experience influences every decision—from planning and engineering to material selection and long-term performance.

We don’t simply build ADUs.

Each ADU is thoughtfully designed to complement your existing home, creating a cohesive look that feels like a natural extension of your property.

We build homes that reflect what residential construction should become.
