DESCRIPTION

Background
Like many cities in the United States faced with suburban sprawl and
accessibility issues, Lexington is considering amending its zoning to
allow for accessory dwelling units, or ADUs. Commonly known as “granny
flats,” ADUs offer improved accessibility for people with disabilities
while adding vibrancy and diversity to the existing urban fabric.

Competition Brief
For this competition, participants will design an ADU on a generic site in
Lexington. The required program includes a kitchen, bathroom, and
sleeping area, but other spaces, both indoor and outdoor, may also be
included. The maximum floor area is 500 square feet, and the maximum
height is 20 feet. Proposals must prioritize accessibility for people
with disabilities.
