Benefits of a Casita

Fratantoni Design • November 30, 2023

Casita: 

Do you have a big family (and friends!) that you want to host but have never had the space to do so? Now is your chance! If you are in the process of designing or remodeling your dream home, as custom luxury home architects in Arizona, we highly recommend having a casita. 

Benefits of a Casita:

There are many benefits of having a casita including extra space, and versatility. When describing a casita, we are describing a secondary home/guest home on the same property or connected to your estate with a separate entrance, a kitchen or kitchenette, and a living space. 

Extra Space:

One benefit of having a casita is when guests come to visit, they have a place to stay! We don’t know about you, but waking up on a couch because someone is turning all the lights on in the home or making a smoothie in the morning, is not the best way to wake up! Having the extra space allows for guests to also have privacy whether they are family or friends. Sometimes it is nice not having to share every inch of your home but still having people staying over. A casita can also be an extended stay property as frequently they have either mini or full kitchens and a separate living and sleeping area. 

Pictured below is the French Luxury estate. Off to the right side of the main entrance of the home, is a separate entrance for the casita. The two bedroom, two bathroom and full kitchen casita was designed by our Arizona architects and can be viewed here !

Versatility:

Furthermore, another benefit of a casita is its versatility. While they can be used for extended periods of in-laws, family members, or other individuals staying, these spaces can also be doubled as entertainment rooms, a home office, workout space, and more. Whether you need a quiet place to finish up some work, get a workout in, or an extra space for your kids and their friends to hang out. 

 

Below is the gorgeous Paradise Villa estate, featuring a 3,000 sq.ft guest house with a private entrance. Both guests and homeowners can use the casita as a separate entertainment space or to get work done throughout the day.
