Combining High-End Design with a Streamlined, Efficient Build Process
For homeowners seeking a stylish and comfortable second residence—whether in a beach town, the countryside, or an urban retreat—a luxury pied-à-terre offers the perfect balance of escape and convenience. And when time, quality, and customization matter, high-end modular construction presents a smart and sophisticated solution.
At Delbert Adams Construction Group, our approach blends luxury craftsmanship with the speed and efficiency of modern modular building techniques, making it an ideal option for those looking to create a refined, low-maintenance getaway.
What Is a Modular Pied-à-Terre?
A pied-à-terre is a small, secondary residence—often used as a vacation home or part-time city retreat. Modular construction allows these homes to be built in sections (or modules) in a controlled facility, then delivered and assembled on-site. Unlike traditional stick-built homes, modular homes are constructed off-site, which dramatically speeds up the timeline while maintaining high standards of quality and customization.
Why Modular Is Ideal for Secondary Homes
Faster Turnaround, Same High-End Results
One of the biggest advantages of modular construction is the speed of delivery. While traditional home builds can take over a year—or longer depending on location and complexity—modular homes can often be completed in a matter of months.
This is particularly advantageous for a secondary residence, where you want to start enjoying your home as soon as possible. Whether you’re building a beachside pied-à-terre or a rural weekend retreat, modular construction gets you there faster—without sacrificing design integrity or craftsmanship.
Fully Customizable Design and Finishes
Modern modular homes are anything but cookie-cutter. Our team collaborates with clients to design unique floor plans and select high-end finishes tailored to your lifestyle and taste. From spa-like bathrooms and chef’s kitchens to custom cabinetry, designer lighting, and wide-plank flooring, your pied-à-terre can include the same level of luxury you’d expect in a primary residence.
We work with top-tier modular fabricators to ensure every space reflects your vision, whether you lean modern, coastal, traditional, or transitional.
Ideal for Remote or Seasonal Locations
Building a home in a seasonal or hard-to-reach location often comes with challenges—limited contractor availability, long lead times, and unpredictable weather delays. Modular homes solve many of these problems by minimizing on-site construction time.
With most of the structure completed off-site, weather delays are greatly reduced, and the amount of time construction teams need to be physically present is shortened. This makes modular builds especially well-suited to secondary homes in remote or resort areas.
Environmentally Friendly and Efficient
Sustainability is a growing priority for luxury homeowners. Modular construction reduces waste, optimizes materials, and limits environmental disruption at the build site. Many modular homes are also built with energy efficiency in mind, including options for high-performance insulation, energy-efficient windows, smart home systems, and renewable energy integration.
The result? A lower-impact build and a more efficient, eco-conscious living space—without compromising on comfort or luxury. You can learn more about sustainability practices and modular homes by clicking here.
