Everything you need. None of the wasted space.

Pak 0 is designed for homeowners who want meaningful extra space without giving up their backyard to get it. Its open living area, flexible sleeping space, functional kitchen and private full bath create a complete environment within CityPaks' most compact footprint. The vaulted ceiling and natural light make it feel larger than expected, while the efficient layout means virtually every square foot has a purpose. Use it for visiting family today, a private office tomorrow, or a flexible space that changes as your life does.

The CityPaks Difference

“You don't need a huge ADU to create a space that changes how your home works.”

Compact where it matters. Spacious where you feel it.

“High volume ceiling slope makes a 370+ sq ft studio feel remarkably airy. You never feel boxed in because natural daylight penetrates all the way through from sunrise to dusk.”
