Floor-to-ceiling windows in addition to skylights help illuminate the both levels of the home naturally. A design that harnesses natural light, ventilation, and a layout to support healthy family life over many generations are some of what makes the home so beautiful.

From CedarStone Design & Build

Designed and built by CedarStone, this Məxiɫp Home debuted as part of the City of Eugene's pre-approved ADU program. This marks a significant milestone as it is the first Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) home to be pre-approved as an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) in Eugene, OR.

The Məxiɫp Home, which draws its name from the Syilx language meaning "Cedar," is a testament to CedarStone’s commitment to sustainable building and cultural heritage as an indigenous-owned company.

The Məxiɫp Home is constructed with mass timber walls, roof and floor. On its first build, all panels had to be carefully maneuvered down a narrow alley access, posing additional innovation with regard to installation. The structure was erected in 3 and a half days.

The design as shown above is 1,000 square feet, and includes 2 bedrooms and 1.5 baths plus carport. It can easily be modified for a 3rd bedroom.

CedarStone’s Məxiɫp Home was awarded the prestigious Earth Advantage Platinum certification and Net Zero Energy Certifications. It was also awarded 2024 EA Market Rate Project of the Year , 2024 EA Community Engaged Design Award, and the 2024 EA Zero Energy Club setting a new standard in energy-efficient housing.
