The Starter Home That Grows With You

Couple dreaming about a home

It’s time to rethink the “starter home.” Maybe more importantly, can we also rethink what it could grow into over time… if we shifted our thinking and applied the power of great design?

Welcome to the HUTS Starter Home.

Instead of fighting over the low supply of old and over-priced starter homes or the new supply of “cookie-cutter” communities, why not build your own first home? Now you can do it affordably and build in the potential for modular expansion in whatever direction your life takes you.

Phase 1

It all starts here. For couples ready to take the next step on their housing journey, the HUTS Starter Home opens an exciting new possibility. This finely crafted jewel-box of a home is the perfected result of our experience, featuring thoughtfully evolved use of space to maximize liveability; a generous feeling of light and volume within a modest footprint; flexibility in the way you use the space; and, importantly, built-in potential for expansion to grow with you.

Phase 2

One Kid Home

Starting a family? The HUTS Starter Home is designed for economical expansion when your life changes. So whenever it does, you don’t have to pull up stakes to find a new house, with all the expense and stress that comes with the process. Instead you can start Phase 2 and grow your HUTS home through the sequential components that were baked into the original plan. It’s a simpler, more cost-efficient way to get the space you need.

Phase 3

Two Kids Home

Another child on the way? Or maybe just a growing desire for more space? Time to launch Phase 3. In this phase the full potential of the house now comes alive with all space activated, providing more room for sleeping, play space for the kids, and work space for you. So from Phase 1 to 3, this is how your original “starter home” can expand organically and cost-efficiently to meet your needs as you move through life.

Phase 4

Family + In-Laws

Over time, you may find that your family needs even more space — for more children, additional work space, or, more commonly these days, room for extended family members. Your HUTS Starter Home can be expanded with a range of new free-standing but connected units, creating a multi-generational family compound. And it all began with your first starter home.
