The success of our local farms depends on a lot of hard work.

We're proud to build seasonal farmworker housing that supports the workers who help plant, grow, and harvest the food that ends up on our tables. Thoughtful design and functional living spaces can make a meaningful difference throughout the season.

Purpose-built housing plays a big role in supporting the people who keep our local industries running.

Seasonal farmworker housing is all about being practical, comfortable, and efficient, giving workers a safe, functional place to stay while they’re here supporting our agricultural communities.

At SHDN, we treat these projects the same as any other build: thoughtful design, smart layouts, and spaces that actually work in real life.

Working from home doesn't always mean working in your home.

For many homeowners, an ADU offers the opportunity to create a dedicated workspace that's separate from the distractions of daily life, without the commute! Whether it's a private office, creative studio, or meeting space, an ADU can be designed for the way you work.

Before the framing starts, the lifestyle logistics need to be solved. 🔍

Good design means planning for how you actually live, from layout functionality to the little details that make a space feel comfortable.

At SHDN, we focus on turning ideas into thoughtful, buildable designs that feel just as good to live in as they look on paper.

Thinking about adding an Additional Dwelling Unit (ADU) to your Hamilton property? 🏡

The program applies to a variety of projects, including:
- Detached Garden Suites & Backyard ADUs
- Legal Basement Apartments
- Garage Conversions
- Small Multiplex Developments

But, before investing in plans, permits, or breaking ground, understanding the fine print is critical. Questions like “Does my property qualify?”, “What exact costs are covered?”, and “Are there strict application deadlines?” will completely determine your project's success.

Behind every ADU project is a lot more than what you see on site.

There's a lot that happens before construction begins. Our SHDN team is busy designing, planning, and working with municipalities to move projects through the approval process and get them ready for the next stage!
