Casa Mini

390 Sq Ft | Modern Desert Casita, Compact Living, Smart Design, Built for Tucson

Designed by GRAUPMAN SOTO, LLC, Sofia Soto and Cameron Graupman, CASA MINI is a thoughtfully crafted small-footprint casita made specifically for the Tucson lifestyle.

At 390 square feet, this studio layout proves that smaller spaces can still feel open, efficient, and comfortable. Every element is intentionally designed to maximize functionality while maintaining a clean, modern aesthetic that fits naturally into the desert environment.

Built with Tucson’s climate in mind, the home combines durable slump-block construction with insulated wood framing to create a space that stays comfortable year-round. The result is a highly efficient, low-maintenance dwelling that works perfectly as a guest house, rental unit, or private retreat.

Here’s what makes this unit work:

• Open studio layout that maximizes every square foot
• Climate-responsive design tailored for desert living
• Slump-block mass wall for durability and thermal performance
• Insulated wood-framed walls and roof for year-round comfort
• Low-maintenance, efficient construction ideal for long-term use

These are Pre-Approved Plans by the City of Tucson! No wait! Start building a month sooner!
