The Loft at a glance
The Loft provides an independent one-bedroom accessory dwelling above an alley-access garage. Its upper floor combines open living, a four-seat dining area and a complete corner kitchen, with a private bedroom, walk-in closet, common bathroom and concealed stacked laundry. A separate exterior stair reaches a 12 × 5 ft private landing without taking space from the apartment. The updated exterior pairs charcoal vertical upper cladding with light lower panels, warm wood at the entry and soffits, and black trim. Warm-white interiors and pale oak are accented with dusty blue and rust. Garage access, the service closet and the roof-drainage approach are developed further for each site.

How it's built
The Loft, built with panelized construction
MBS builds The Loft from factory-made wall panels, floor cassettes and roof panels, CNC-cut in our St. Louis plant to the approved drawings. Panels ship flat and are set on a conventional foundation. The finished ADU is wood framing, not a modular box or a manufactured home, with up to a 50% quicker construction schedule.
Pick your package
Framing only, open or sheathed panels, or closed panels with windows, cladding and MEP rough-in.
Keep your crew
Your framer sets the panels, or MBS installs by agreement. Your GC leads the job.
