Entry Description

The Plús Hús (Icelandic for plus house) is a 16’ X 20’ accessory dwelling unit (ADU) created using the high-efficiency building material, mnmMOD. Plús Hús has custom features to accommodate different needs and styles and provides a detached private space on one’s property to create affordable rental space.

By making the processes of installing an ADU easy and simple for the homeowners - Plús Hús is a viable solution for affordable housing. Homeowners can rent out their Plús Hús to low-income families and individuals creating more affordable housing in their neighborhoods.
