Deltec Homes, a leader in round home design, has introduced Backyard Cottages, a new line of versatile and affordable accessory dwelling units (ADUs). These round-shaped cottages are designed to provide flexible living space, such as home offices, guest accommodations, or private retreats, without the cost of a fully equipped standalone home. The launch comes as demand for ADUs continues to grow nationwide, driven by housing affordability challenges and the need for flexible living solutions.

Why it matters

The round design of Deltec's Backyard Cottages offers a more natural and immersive living experience compared to traditional backyard structures. These ADUs can help homeowners maximize their property value by adding extra space for families to live, work, and play, supporting multi-generational living, guest accommodations, or passive income opportunities.

The details

Deltec's Backyard Cottages are designed with a simple, open layout and can be customized to serve a variety of purposes, such as home offices, art studios, or spaces for aging parents. To maximize affordability, homeowners take a more active role in project coordination, including permitting, contractor selection, and site preparation, while Deltec provides the structural shell and design expertise. Homeowners can also upgrade to larger models from Deltec's 360° Signature Collection, with additional features and full project support.

  • Deltec Homes launched the Backyard Cottages on February 26, 2026.
  • The company is offering special savings on the Refuge or Sanctuary models from February 26 to March 31, 2026.
