Custom Cabinetry

Built in Sunset Park, L.A., the original model was made by ERLA Construction (a company started by one of Minarc's cofounders) from a structural insulated panel (SIP) developed in house.

Pictured here and in the top image, the 350-square-foot Plús Hús ADU is an example of Minarc's larger offerings.

Apart from housing storage, the daybed built into the end of the microhouse can be pulled out to accommodate two more guests for the night.

Like in the Tind model, oiled birch is used for the interior wall and ceiling finishes. Otherwise, the materials are more economical: the counters are made of laminate, and vinyl is used for the floors.

The bed sits above the bathroom at the back in Halycon 01. In the larger models, an extra bedroom is added to the rear of the home.

The added space at the end of the Paradise model was intended for use as an enclosed bedroom (as pictured above), but it can be made into a second, larger bathroom instead.

Priced at $225K, the 290-square-foot Paradise model is a larger, more flexible version of the Oasis. The addition of a loft is optional, and the extra room attached to the end of the unit can be made into an enclosed bedroom or a second bath.

Mini Glo-Ball lights are installed across the walls of the unit, and LED strips can be placed on a shelf just beneath the ceiling. While the units come with a skylight in the bathroom, an extra one can be placed above the bed.

The architects added a cork wall behind the bed for a layer of warmth within the space.

The bathrooms include a walk-in shower, washer, and dryer.
