Casita & Guest House Design
in Mohave County

A Southwest Tradition, Designed Right

A casita gives visiting family their own space, gives aging parents independence close by, or gives you a quiet home office away from the main house. In the Southwest, casitas are a tradition — and a well-designed one can add real value to your property.

Steve holds the NAHB Certified Aging-in-Place Specialist (CAPS) designation, so casitas can be designed with wider doorways, curbless showers, lever handles and single-level living — features that make the space work for guests of any age. See all of our Mohave County home design services.

Casita Options We Design

Every casita is planned around how it will be used and what your lot allows.

Designed for Comfort — and the Rules

In the desert, small buildings heat up fast. We design casitas with shaded entries, good insulation, efficient cooling and windows placed to capture views without baking the interior.

Casitas and guest houses are also subject to local zoning, setbacks and, in many neighborhoods, HOA rules. We review those requirements at the start so your design can be approved without costly redesigns.
