Manitou Modern ADU
About This Build Project
Kim Hardesty’s 256 square-foot Modern kit home located near Madisonville, Kentucky came to life in only 8 hours with the help of a construction crew and crane. The accessory dwelling unit, ADU for short gives their daughter more independence while staying close to mom and dad.
With the addition of a MRCOOL mini-split system, this kit has no problem staying cool in the hot, muggy summers and warm during the occasional polar vortex when temperatures dip to -6 degrees. The many windows provide ample natural light.
“We purchased the smallest minisplit system available and it kept our daughter's MSH toasty during the polar vortex,” Hardesty said.

In planning our daughter's MSH, Damian (a co-owner of Mighty Small Homes) was always available by phone and email to review our plans. He gave us tours of the factory, his carriage house, and a tiny home under construction on the factory lot.
