At Sustainable Design Build, we believe every square foot of your property holds potential and the ability to become whatever you need. Accessory Dwelling Units or ADUs are a unique custom home construction project that unlocks a variety of uses and functionality for a home. These custom home buildings are versatile, high-value additions to your home that can serve far beyond traditional guest suites, family extensions, and rentals. ADUs in the last few years have become a growing focal point in the Denver neighborhoods – giving inspiration to homeowners to maximize their property’s functionality and value. With increasing access and policy changes in Denver, ADUs are becoming more available and affordable to build. With that, SDB has seen some very impressive pitches into what clients have envisioned for their very own Accessory Dwelling Units.
Sustainable Design Build has been providing Denver and the surrounding metro area with experienced and knowledgeable services towards building homes, remodeling interiors, creating home additions and of course constructing ADUs. Accessory Dwelling Units, or ADUs, have come up in a growing trend across the city where homeowners are seeking to build a separate accessory home that can be perfect for a number of uses. For SDB, Denver residents have had the primary interest in building ADUs, but there are many regulations and roadblocks that can stop a project from beginning. The same can be said for any municipality, just like Arvada. At Sustainable Design Build, we are committed to helping Arvada homeowners navigate the ADU building process so that a smooth and streamlined building experience is provided.

The Denver City Council voted on Monday to allow accessory dwelling units (ADUs) in residential neighborhoods citywide, reducing the number of rezoning hearings they must handle and mostly complying with a new state law. ADUs are smaller, secondary homes that can be built on the same lots as single-family homes, providing rental income or space for family members. Previously, building an ADU required a time-consuming rezoning process.
As the world faces the challenges of rapid urbanization and climate change, the push for greener living has intensified. In fact, 52% of Americans now prioritize environmental protection over economic growth. Denver is a shining example of a city that has embraced this shift, ranking 15th among the most sustainable cities in the U.S. This is due to its high number of green buildings, eco-friendly coworking spaces, and strong recycling programs.
A kitchen remodel is one of the most desirable endeavors when it comes to performing a custom home interior design and remodel.

Establishing this plan and also ensuring that your interior designer is on the same page will help make the kitchen remodel aspect of your custom home construction that much more successful. Read on to find out where to start and what questions you should be asking yourself for a custom home interior design kitchen.
Denver city officials have been on the road to rezoning all of Denver’s residential neighborhoods to allow ADUs or Accessory Dwelling Units. The move started earlier this year around March and since then has been relatively silent. The Citywide Accessory Dwelling Units Project is an ongoing effort from the City of Denver to expand affordable housing availability and choice. The Project itself follows in the footsteps of Blueprint Denver which is the large-scale plan for Denver’s land use and transportation. A public review draft of the proposed changes and efforts of the Citywide ADU Project was available for the public and comment through up until recently, August 22nd.
Nearly a year later, Denver’s City Council has made forward progress on making it easier for property owners to build an ADU. June 5th, 2023, the Council passed an ordinance that amends the Denver Zoning Code and the Former Chapter 59 code that gives more leniency to building an ADU. While this was just beginning, Denver kept up with the overall interest residents had in building an ADU and created an ADU Advisory Committee that same year. The goal of this committee was to investigate the red tape, barriers, and common roadblocks associated with building an ADU so that a solution to the process could be found. Now, Denver’s ADU research has come to the conclusion of amending and modifying current zoning codes for all neighborhoods. This has launched the Citywide Accessory Dwelling Project or Citywide ADU Project, as part of the city’s ongoing effort to expand housing availability and choice.
The growing interest in Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) in Denver can be attributed to several factors. Housing market conditions are inspiring homeowners to different solutions, while the City Council’s rezoning of entire neighborhoods has opened up new possibilities. Families are also exploring the option of building ADUs to bring relatives closer or to invest in small rental properties. Despite the attention they’re receiving, the prevalence of ADUs in Denver remains limited, and this could be attributed to various reasons.
