Your Property. Your Vision. Designed with Architectural Excellence.
At Rodenhiser Architects, we specialize in designing ADUs that seamlessly integrate with your home's existing architecture. With a focus on aesthetics, functionality, and compliance, we transform your vision into a thoughtfully crafted space that enhances both form and function.
What is an ADU?
ADUs—also called granny flats, backyard cottages, or in-law apartments—are self-contained living spaces built on the same lot as your primary residence. Whether it's a detached retreat, a converted garage, or a stylish basement apartment, an ADU offers increased versatility and value while complementing your home's overall design.
Designed for comfortable living, ADUs provide a dedicated space for sleeping, a functional kitchen for cooking, and a private area for dining. They also include essential sanitation facilities such as a bathroom with a shower, toilet, and sink, ensuring a fully independent and self-sufficient living environment.
Why Design an ADU?
- Multigenerational Living: Create private, independent spaces for family members with a cohesive architectural design.
- Rental Income: Unlock the potential of your property with an aesthetically pleasing and functional rental unit.
- Work-from-Home Solutions: Design a private, professional-grade home office that enhances productivity.

- Enhance Property Value: A well-integrated ADU enhances your home's appeal and long-term value.

- Affordable Housing for Family: Offer an economical living option for a family member, whether to reduce housing costs or help them save for homeownership.
Navigating Massachusetts ADU Regulations
Recent updates to state laws make it easier to build ADUs, but zoning laws and permits can be complex. That's where Rodenhiser Architects comes in. Our team analyzes local and state regulations to create designs that are both compliant and optimized for your needs.
