Morning coffee with a garden view. A comfortable bedroom for a parent. A welcoming place for guests to settle in. The construction behind the finishes matters to each of those moments.
Daylight, useful lighting and a coordinated enclosure support the rooms your family will live in.
ACB interior concept. Finishes, furnishings and features are illustrative.2×6 exterior-wall construction
A 2×6 wall has a deeper cavity than a conventional 2×4 wall, giving us more room for insulation. That depth helps us build a wall assembly that slows heat transfer between the Arizona outdoors and the rooms your family uses every day.
Spray foam in walls and at the roof deck
Spray foam provides insulation and can help limit air leakage when installed as a continuous air barrier. Filling around framing and obstructions helps reduce paths where outdoor air can slip into the home and conditioned air can escape.
LED lighting throughout
LEDs use less electricity and give off less heat than traditional incandescent bulbs for comparable light. Their typically longer life also means fewer bulb changes—useful for a high ceiling or a home used by visiting family.
Pella or Avanti Low-E windows
Low-E coatings help control heat transfer through window glass. A suitable glazing package can help limit unwanted solar heat while keeping the daylight and outlook that make a small home feel inviting.
High-efficiency air conditioning
Higher SEER2 ratings indicate greater seasonal cooling efficiency under standardized test conditions. The practical benefit comes from pairing efficient equipment with the casita’s actual cooling load, windows, insulation and air distribution.
