Secondary Dwellings.

Closer when you want to be. Independent when you need to be.

One Property. One Great Bode Project.

You do not have to be a developer to build with Bode. If you are planning a cottage, secondary dwelling, rental unit or small primary residence, the same Bode system helps you define performance, package scope and design selections before your builder completes the project.

Start with your site—not a shopping cart

Before choosing a package, understand your land, local requirements, access, servicing, builder plan, budget and intended use. A Bode dealer can help organize the right questions and recommend a configuration.

Multi-Generational Living. Reimagined.

Families are changing, and so is the way we live. Bode Modern Living Company offers a contemporary approach to multi-generational second dwellings, allowing aging parents, adult children, and extended family to live close while maintaining privacy and independence.

A Home of Their Own. Steps From Yours.

A Bode second dwelling transforms available property into a beautifully designed independent residence. Positioned beside or behind the primary home, it creates a natural balance between connection and autonomy.

For aging parents, it provides independence close to family. For adult children, it creates a pathway toward living on their own. As family needs evolve, the dwelling can evolve with them.

Small Footprint. Complete Living.

Bode models maximize compact footprints with thoughtfully planned living areas, bedrooms, kitchens, bathrooms, laundry, storage, and outdoor connections.

Rather than feeling like an addition, each dwelling becomes a home of its own—architecturally distinctive while complementing the larger property.

Designed for Today—and Tomorrow.

A second dwelling can serve as an aging-in-place residence, independent space for adult children, guest accommodations, home office, caregiver suite, or potential rental residence where permitted.

Built Around Performance.

Bode provides performance-optimized construction kits engineered for tomorrow, giving homeowners and builders a coordinated approach to creating efficient, durable second dwellings.

Bode Core, Shield, and Fortify performance options combined with Open, Integrated, and Integrated+ completion packages allow each project to align performance, construction strategy, climate, and budget.

One Property. More Possibilities.

Multi-generational living doesn't have to mean sharing one home. It can mean creating a better relationship between two.

Families can share meals, celebrations, childcare, responsibilities, and everyday moments—while everyone still has a front door they can call their own.
