About The Matilija

The Matilija is our ultra-efficient micro-studio ADU engineered specifically for property owners looking to maximize yard space and ROI without sacrificing living quality. Built on an ultra-compact 20' x 15' footprint with a timeless gable roofline, this design uses smart architectural zoning to deliver the full functionality of an apartment in just 300 square feet.

By featuring a high-comfort sofa bed setup, the primary living space functions seamlessly as an open lounge and entertainment area by day, then effortlessly transitions into a cozy sleeping space by night.

Unlike typical cramped micro-units, The Matilija prioritizes everyday functionality:

Efficient Kitchen Wall
Features a streamlined linear kitchen outfitted with an integrated cooktop, full sink, refrigerator, and a dedicated stackable washer/dryer unit directly at hand.
Sleek Walk-In Shower Bath
Replaces bulky standard bathtubs with a modern, step-in glass-enclosed shower, optimizing floor area to give the bathroom an airy, high-end feel.
Built-In Storage Solutions
Integrated closet and cabinet storage flank the entry and bathroom areas, keeping living spaces completely clutter-free.
Light-Filled Living
Multiple wall windows and dual glass entry points flood the space with natural light while enhancing visual space.

Designed with complete versatility in mind, The Matilija is the ultimate micro-solution, ideal for high-yield backyard rental income, a private executive home office, or an inviting long-term guest retreat. It's engineered from the ground up as a fully turnkey, code-compliant build, ready to move straight from design into construction.
