Build more on the land you already have.

SeeingBird helps Texas property owners plan and build accessory dwelling units (ADUs), with development consulting and landscape design to match.

What we do

ADUs

A second, separate home on your lot for family, rental income, or guests. We start with whether your property allows one.

ADU plans and process

Development consulting

Feasibility, zoning, entitlements, and land search from a planner who has worked on both sides of the counter.

Consulting services

Landscape design

Site-responsive landscape design for homes and developments, from concept sketches to site plans.

Design samples

Incremental homes

Compressed earth block homes designed to start small and grow as your needs change.

Floor plans

Start small. Add on later.

Our plans are drawn at honest sizes, from a 400 sf ADU up to a home that grows in stages. The Mescalero, for example, begins as 1,125 sf and builds out to 2,100 sf. Each square below is drawn to scale.
