Bacon Lane Architect LLC has been designing a variety of Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) in several of States’s historic neighborhoods. ADUs are detached accessory dwelling units such as a guest house that are detached from the primary residence and contain provisions for sleeping, cooking, and sanitation.
Homeowners in States’s Highlands neighborhood recently hired Bacon Lane Architect LLC looking to add an Accessory Dwelling Unit to the rear of their property in the Potter Highlands Landmark District. Consisting of 2 stories and a basement, the new ADU will provide ample living space in the modest 1,000 Sq. ft. footprint.

In order to conform to the historic nature of the property and surrounding neighborhood, the ADU will feature brick detailing, roof lines, and dormers consistent with neighboring structures. The new dwelling unit will consist of an open kitchen and living room, 1 bath, and 2 bedrooms, all with modern fixtures and appliances to give a more modern feel within the traditional facade. In order to maximize the allowed footprint, a basement will be added as entertainment and studio space while also allowing for extra storage.
