Click Here for More Details About the Newport "Backyard Homes" (aka Backyard Cottage, Granny Flat, Granny Pod, Granny Units, In-Law Unit, ADU) A Pacific Modern Homes "Backyard Home" is a self-contained living unit usually located on the grounds of an existing home. It is sometimes called a Granny Flat because it is a popular way for families to accommodate aging parents. Your Backyard Home is also ideal for a private extension of the main residence; young adult family members, Nannies, Care-Givers, guest housing, private retreat, in-home office or rental income. With multigenerational housing becoming more popular, a "Backyard Home" (Granny Flats) provides a mutually beneficial alternative. Privacy and independent living can be experienced in a separate living area while sharing the same property and resources. With the addition of a permanent "Backyard Home" the property value can increase. In addition to providing a private living space, the "Backyard Home" offers many other advantages. Transportation, child care, grounds maintenance, gardening and other property tasks can be shared. When it comes to keeping an eye on our aging population, the Backyard Home offers a solution that is both affordable and beneficial for families. Pacific Modern Homes provides the steps and resources needed for the Owner-Builder to select, plan for and prepare for construction of a Backyard Home. The "Maywood" is one of Pacific Modern Homes exclusive designs within the "Transitional Home Envi-ronment" (T.H.E.) series. These homes meet the growing needs for older adults with features that can be adapted and modified for aging- in-place. If you're interested Pacific Modern Homes can make these changes to any of our plans. Depending up the specific plan there may be additional charges to make these changes.

Create Your Own Design

If you didn't find what you were looking for in our existing designs (or by modifying one of our existing designs,) we can help you, Create You Own Design!

Here's how it works...

Step #1

You provide us with a sketch of your desired design.

 Step #2

We turn your sketch into a more formal design taking into account building code requirements with an eye toward best building efficiencies.

 Step #3

Pacific Modern Homes will produce a complete building set of the plans. These plans will cover the structural design which includes the foundation design - even if you're building down the side of a hill.

Depending upon your building site location there will be additional documentation required to submit your plans to your local building department. For example; Energy Calculations, Fire Sprinkler Design, Site Map, Heating & Air Conditioning Duct design. These are just a few of the potential requirements. If you have further questions you can call us at the number listed above or email us.

How Much Will it Cost?

Generally speaking, we calculate the cost to produce a complete building set of plans based upon the total square footage of the building and the number of floors. This includes garage, porches, patios and decks covered and uncovered. Here's a copy of our current price sheet, Custom Plan Drafting Services. If you're building on a sloping lot, or in a high snow load area, there will be additional costs. 

Here are some examples of some sloping foundation designs that we've produced to meet specific building site requirements.
