Plumas County Predesigned ADUs

Workbench was selected as the Architects for the Plumas County Pre-Designed Accessory Dwelling Unit Project. This program consists of four floor plans and four design styles to meet a wide variety of architectural and geographic needs. The goal was to design modules which could increase or decrease depending on site constraints such as parcel size or topography. We also have designed larger units to aid in the fire rebuild effort which could be utilized as primary dwellings.
