Avondale Estates - Accessory Dwelling

Contractor of the Year Award Winner – 2024 Detached Structure, Southeast Region
Avondale Estates is easily one of the most charming and unique neighborhoods in Atlanta’s intown suburbs. But with its historic character, two-car garages and space for offices/in-laws are often lacking. The homeowner loved their house, but needed that extra space to make the whole property work for their unique needs.

The high point of this project was the smart layout and design that made sure to get every inch of space allowed by Avondale’s unique height, size and massing limits. In addition, the exterior used a variety of materials to create a harmonious and interesting visual that though unique is oh so pleasing to the eye.
Details inside made the space useful, airy and bright. A very large sliding door unit floods the living room and kitchenette with light. The bathroom serves all purposes and doesn’t feel too tight. And the office has plenty of room for visiting clients and long term can provide a bedroom with plenty of closet space if needs change.
