Home designer Dwell has launched its first multipurpose backyard home.
The company joined forces with Abodu and Norm Architects to build the 540-square-foot Dwell House.
It can serve as a guesthouse, rental apartment, home office, pool house, or a fitness studio.
Dwell has created the Dwell House, a 540-square-foot, one-bedroom ADU that fits in most backyards.
It's constructed off-site and gives home owners additional space without the hassle of construction or moving. Take a look.
The Dwell House, produced in partnership with Abodu and award-winning Danish design studio Norm Architects, is a 540-square-foot space with a full kitchen and bathroom, designed with a California-meets-Copenhagen feel.
