River City ADU

This accessory dwelling unit (ADU), located in La Crosse, Wisconsin, is a compact, single-story dwelling of just under 900 square feet designed for versatility, comfort, and financial flexibility. With one bedroom and one bathroom, the unit caters to residents at various life stages—from young professionals to aging family members—promoting both independence and convenience. Designed to adapt to the homeowner's needs, it functions as either a rental unit to supplement income or as comfortable housing for extended family, adding long-term value and addressing urban housing affordability.

The open-concept layout, filled with natural light and warm, neutral tones, creates a seamless blend between indoor and outdoor spaces, fostering a sense of calm and connection to nature. Thoughtful details like minimalist forms and natural textures enhance functionality while maintaining flow and adaptability for diverse uses, from entertaining to working from home. This ADU project exemplifies modern, sustainable design that supports flexible, multi-generational living and provides homeowners with a valuable asset in today’s urban landscape.
