The Yugen Studio ADU is a 22' x 26' evolution of the Yūgen Studio — adding a private bathroom and kitchen to create a fully self-contained accessory dwelling unit. Two sliding folding glass walls still open the living space to the outdoors, while secret doors conceal the wet rooms. Workshop, guest house, rental unit, or permanent small home — off-grid ready and DIY friendly.
