The Bodega

The Bodega has a fireplace, a full bath and kitchen (261 sq ft), and also has the option for an add on bedroom (356 sq ft). Designed with cost savings in mind, this green design is proportioned just right. Charming and bright, the simple use of space and building materials keeps construction costs low without sacrificing design. The plans come with an option for a full loft over the great room, kitchen and bathroom, or a 1/2 loft with a cathedral ceiling over the great room. The house is 18’4″ tall.

This house is not designed to be portable. We sell the plans to build it on location.

General notes about construction costs: Costs for materials are almost the same in different regions but labor costs will vary greatly depending on where you live. We provide costs with a raised perimeter concrete foundation. Depending on where you live, it is possible you will need an engineered foundation designed by a licensed contractor or engineer in your state.

Loft

We don’t count the loft as square footage in this house because with so much sloped ceiling, it doesn’t officially qualify as a habitable room. That said, with seven feet of ceiling height over more than 50 square feet, the loft provides a lot of usable space. The loft is accessed by a ladder in the kitchen.

Can I put in stairs instead of a ladder?
No, stairs won’t fit, but “ladder stairs” will.

Foundation

We sell our plans with a raised perimiter foundation. However, it is possible to put this house on a slab foundation or even over a basement. However, you may need to work with an architect or engineer licensed in your state to get approval from the building department.

Can this house be built on wheels?
No. This small house is designed to be built on a permanent foundation.

Utilities and appliances

The kitchen maximizes spaces and includes a dishwasher, full size range with oven, and built in microwave. The tank-less on demand water heater ensures that you never run out of hot water, and tucks away completely out of view. A small fireplace is tucked nicely in the corner of the great room.

The smaller version has a washer/dryer combo in the kitchen, whereas the larger version has a stack-able washer and dryer closet.

Can I install air conditioning?
Yes, you can. Our plans don’t include an air conditioning unit, but you can install one in the loft or outside the house.

What type of fireplace does the house have?
We don’t specify a specific fire place or heater because codes vary so much based on climate. We recommend discussing your options with a building contractor licensed in your state. When you build this house, please send us pictures. Since we don’t build the house ourselves, we are dependent on you to supply us with real pictures.
