As Austin grows and buildable land becomes harder to come by, backyard casitas are an increasingly smart way for homeowners to add space and flexibility—without leaving the neighborhood they love.

The Coventry casita is a great example of multigenerational living done right. Designed as a comfortable, private space, this cozy backyard home allows the homeowners’ mother to live close by while still enjoying her own independent space. Built behind the primary residence in East Austin, the casita was thoughtfully constructed with high-quality, sustainable materials chosen for durability—creating a timeless addition that can serve the family for generations to come.
