A private retreat for guests should feel like part of the property, from its entrance to its finishes. For a Scottsdale casita, we discuss sleeping space, bathroom layout, storage, and outdoor connections alongside the intended use. Calling it a casita does not settle how the city will classify it.
Scottsdale distinguishes guest houses from ADUs, with different use and approval requirements. The city’s ADU process begins with a pre-application review.
We help define the rooms, building systems, and finishes around the approved use. Decisions about cooking facilities, occupancy, and any proposed rental use come before the construction plan, so the design is built on an agreed direction.
You work with one team through design coordination, permit review, construction, and the final walkthrough. The scope and site requirements guide the budget; a generic price per square foot cannot answer every question about your property.

A few things to work through before you build.
Scottsdale distinguishes guest houses from separately rentable ADUs. If rental use is part of your goal, we need to review the ADU pathway and its conditions rather than assume a guest-house approval covers it.
Size, finishes, site access, utility work, and the approved scope all matter. We review those together so the budget reflects the project you are actually planning.
Design decisions, permit review, site preparation, and construction each affect the schedule. We discuss the expected sequence after reviewing the property and scope, rather than promise a move-in date before that work is done.
