Multi-Use ADU
Micro FarmShed
Micro FarmShed / 20×30 footprint with exterior stairs and single slope/ “shed roof” to allow for efficient rainwater collection and solar panel attachments. The first floor will have a full bathroom with sink and shower draining to a grey water holding cistern to use for landscape irrigation. For any plumbing issues, refer to the original site for assistance. The composting toilet and grey water tank will eliminate the need for a septic and and leach field system in most locations.
The multi-floor design allows for parking on the lower level or park outside and use the interior spaces for multi-use rooms on first and second floor. This model will qualify as an ADU or granny flat in most jurisdictions, and may also be approved as an Agricultural Building within certain zoning requirements.

Our prefab sequence is simple
At MicroHome we simplify the build process into what we call the Prefab Sequence. Our team will work with you through the Prefab Sequence from our initial accessibility review, and we have designs that are Pre-Engineered for both the MicroHome and foundation specific to your site. We have a Slab option for flat sites and a steel/ raised floor option for sloped sites to have unlimited access for your new MicroHome.
For a complete breakdown of each of the Prefab Sequence steps, please click on each topic to expand.
