Q: What is the average size of a pool house?

• <div><p>The average size of a pool house is between 180 and 220 square feet. Small pool sheds may only be 25 to 50 square feet, while luxury pool houses you can use as a guest house can sit between 200 and 400 square feet. Consider what you&rsquo;ll use the space for and how much of your yard it will take up when deciding on the right size for your project.</p></div>

Q: Are prefab homes sustainable?

• <div><p>When you compare traditional houses to prefab homes, the latter can be more sustainable for many reasons. For example, manufacturers have a more streamlined construction process for modular homes, which means there&rsquo;s less waste. Additionally, some prefabricated housing manufacturers strive for energy-efficient buildings, and others produce off-the-grid capable homes that produce their own energy. </p><p>Some companies even offer net-zero buildings, which are arguably the most sustainable. So if sustainability is important to you, prefab homes can be a great fit.</p></div>

Q: What size of house is considered a cottage?

• <div><p>Most cottages are around 1,000 square feet, making them smaller than most other styles. However, cottages are defined more by their decor and architectural focus on simplicity, functionality, and a connection to nature than they are by a rigid square footage or floor plan. While cottages are defined more by their charm and appearance than size, the smaller footprint does help maximize the comfort and charm, and it keeps the focus on connection to nature and family.</p></div>

Q: What qualifies as a guest house?

• <div><p>To <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-is-guest-house.htm">qualify as a guest house</a>, a structure needs to meet your local building code requirements. In some locations, a guest house must be a separate residence from the primary home. In other locations, you may be able to connect the two buildings and still call the second building a guest house. However, a structure doesn&rsquo;t often need a minimum size to qualify as a guest house.</p><p></p></div>

Q: What is the difference between a pool house and an ADU?

• <div><p>An ADU is a section of your home that you can feasibly use to house guests or even tenants. Pool houses can be ADUs if they include a kitchen, a bathroom, and a bedroom, but smaller pool houses and pool sheds are more for the homeowner to get more enjoyment out of their pool than for guests.</p></div>
