Multifacetted Homes has quite a few:

When we thought we were going to build on a lot, we talked to designers with Trojan, Honsador & HPM & they were all willing to work with a combo of their studio design for the 3 pod layout (they had all done this before....)

Hope this helps - we were also looking for someplace for Ma to stay when she visited... close, but not right in the house...

Could you maybe roll one of these in after the fact?: http://www.ajmadison.com/cgi-bin/ajmadison/RGS.html?mv_pc=ink&cm_mmc=shopport-_-ink-_-Acme-_-RGS

Legally, or permitted? probably not...Plumbing, gas &/or electric hookups are supposed to be done by licensed contractors w/permit.....

...One of our resident realtors may correct me, but it appears to me that Building and Planning cares a whole lot about new construction rules and about what's being done on ag land, but has no real interest in the kama`aina house nonconformities. More like, those are how we used to do them, and this is now.

Like I said, I could be all wrong about that part.

I would agree with you on that assumption. Puna is said to have close to 7000 unpermitted or "underpermitted" structures. It doesn't seem to become an issue until selling or neighbor complains.
