This fully self-contained 120 sq. ft. home is the first of our Room With a Paycheck™ series.
These homes can be used either as a guest house, teenage hangout, or homeless shelter. This is our 120 sf model, which in many places can be built without a building permit!
The expansive roof area, also covering the porch, affords extra outdoor living area, while providing room for additional solar panels to be installed. For the thousands of homes in our country without the correct solar orientation to take advantage of the energy provided by the sun, these cottages could be located in the back yard to either off-set the energy bills of the main house, or they can stand alone as a fully self-contained unit.
We also have a 192 sf model and a couple of 300 sf+ models in development.

What's Included in Our Zero-Energy Home Packages
We provide the most complete plan packages available on the market. We are interested in the ultimate success of your project, not just in selling a set of house plans.
We include foundation plans, foundation details, floor plans of all levels, framing details, floor framing plans, and elevation views from all sides. We also provide an electrical plan, though you will want to modify the lighting to your own tastes. Most importantly, we provide a complete mechanical plan, tailored to YOUR climate zone.
We used to ship either a “Basic Set” of plans, with just one copy of each page, or a “full Set”, which ideally would include enough plan pagers for all of your key suppliers and subcontractors. Now most people prefer to have you send them a PDF to bid from and work from, and they will carry it with them in their portable device. Even banks and building departments are now preferring electronic plan copies.
There are now FedEx Office, Office Max, and similar locations all over the country where you can have full size plans printed at a far lower cost than what we can provide, especially when the cost and time required to ship them across the country is considered. When you need an extra copy of a certain page, you can simply e-mail the pdf page you need to the local outlet, and they will have it all printed and ready for pick-up by the time you arrive. Isn’t technology wonderful!
