Even though it shares the shape and footprint dimensions of my best-selling ‘Tofino’, this is a completely new design, with a different foundation, updated wall structure and revised roof framing that uses standard lumber. The Nipigon gives you everything needed for comfortable, full-time living for a single person or a couple: a full ensuite bathroom with a dedicated spot for full-sized stacked washer and dryer; a full-sized kitchen; a covered deck and covered entryway; and lots of windows for ample sunlight and fresh air, all inside a simple-to-build structure that has a very small footprint.

With the high cost of building materials comes a greater need to scrutinize every aspect of a design, to ensure that it can be built very efficiently, with less waste of time and materials while building, and low operating and maintenance costs into the future. This design was designed for and is a perfect candidate for advanced framing techniques (‘smart framing’), saving labour time and lumber costs, while providing higher levels of insulation for exceptional comfort.

This design is very versatile and well suited to a range of uses: ADU, secondary residence, backyard studio, office, guest suite, or short-term rental.
