How do You ADU?

Adrienne Stolwyk, Architect and Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) advocate, to share resources for homeowners thinking of constructing an ADU. The presentation will cover considerations like: site assessment, zoning limitations, aging-in-place design, general cost and financing, design process, contractor selection, and timeline expectations.

She has advocated for establishing and improving Columbia’s ADU ordinance for over a decade.

Adrienne is the owner of Monarch Architecture and a Co-Owner of Building Integrity, a construction company specializing in prefabricated straw-insulated panels.
