Concept listing. This page demonstrates how Field House presents a home. The home, manufacturer, prices and details are illustrative placeholders, not a real product.

Example Maker BGuangdong Province — illustrative

Lemon Grove ADU

A 400 sq ft backyard studio that ships nearly finished.

A compact steel-frame studio with a full bathroom and kitchenette, marketed for backyard living and rentals. The factory price is striking; the ADU rules in your city will matter more.

“Everything about this one lives or dies at your city's permit counter. Ask them before you ask the factory.”
