This ADU (Accessory Dwelling Unit) project was driven by Alexandria’s citywide effort to refine zoning regulations, making it easier for homeowners to add these standalone spaces. Often, principal dwellings face occupancy restrictions, and additions can be disruptive to the main home during the build. A backyard ADU, however, offers a practical solution—providing a private retreat for the homeowners and their children, as well as the flexibility for use as an in-law suite or short-term rental. These benefits made an ADU an ideal choice for our clients, and the design was carefully planned to meet these unique considerations.

The location is ideal, conveniently near the boys' school and their mother's workplace.

Our mission was clear: tear down the faulty addition and rebuild it from the ground up to ensure structural integrity.
Located in the vibrant Chevy Chase neighborhood of Washington, DC, our clients needed more space to accommodate their growing family and love for entertaining. After considering a move, they decided to renovate their cherished home instead. The original kitchen, breakfast nook, and screened porch felt cramped, especially for the tall husband. With a large extended family and frequent gatherings, a more spacious layout was essential. The basement and main bathroom also required significant upgrades. To enhance the outdoor experience, we designed a new patio that makes the sloped backyard more usable. Additionally, the Tudor-style front façade was updated to reflect the clients’ modern style preferences.
