A Colorado April, Spring Tour of 3 ADU's projects in different stages of construction, designed by ArcWest Architects, located in the Northwest Denver neighborhoods of Berkley & the Potter-Highlands. Two of these ADU projects are located within Landmark Historically significant neighborhoods designated by Denver. Each project has a unique story. ADU#1 - Images of foundation shows this ADU location just coming out of the ground, near N. Decatur St. Stay tuned ADU#2 - Pics of the ADU which looks more like a home is located in a Carriage lot, in Landmark neighborhood, nearing completion. ADU#3 - These shots show the nearing completion of the LM ADU located behind the historic home, near N. Newton St. Reach out to our team if you would like to learn more about the details of these projects or building a new ADU building in Denver.

Recent blog posted to our website outlining ADU regulations and requirements from a state level down to local Denver zoning requirements.

More than you might want to read about ADU's, compilation of information and resources gathered by ArcWest Architects. Look for new blog on our website coming this week that will provide more detail about ADU laws and zoning requirements in Denver.

This (House Bill 24-1152 ) requires jurisdictions to remove “restrictive design or dimension standards”. Note: This is like Oregon and Washington. To remove “restrictive design or dimension standards “, subject jurisdictions must: § Allow an ADU of up to at least 500 sq ft. § Not require off-street parking § Not require the owner to occupy the property. § Reduce side and rear setbacks to 5ft (with some sub-optimal caveats) § Not have minimum lot size requirements § Not have special design standards for prefab ADUs (though Building Code standards will still be enforced) #ArcWestADU #ArcWestArchitects #DesignbyArcWest
