AVAVA Dwellings

AVAVA Dwellings is a Berkeley, California-based prefab ADU builder known for its patented panelized construction system using structurally insulated panels made from engineered wood. The company offers more than five floor plans ranging from 270 to 750 square feet, featuring a distinctive modern aesthetic with glass doors, wide windows, angled rooflines, and siding options in pine, cedar, or ipe. AVAVA's proprietary moment frame reduces standard foundation concrete usage by 60 percent and wood framing volume by 40 percent compared to conventional methods, reflecting a strong commitment to sustainability through low-VOC recyclable materials and waste-minimizing production. Finished components are flat-packed and shipped to the site, where assembly is typically completed in under two months. AVAVA serves the San Francisco Bay Area, offering full-service design-to-installation support for homeowners adding backyard homes or pocket neighborhoods.
