Floor Plan and Elevation of House with ADU

Project 18

EXAMPLE OF AN ACCESSORY DWELLING AND COURTYARD HOME FOR MIAMI-DADE COUNTY

The main house in this design is a courtyard home.  The spaces are arranged around a courtyard.  The advantages of this are the

ability to have cross-ventilation throughout the home and minimize the use of air-conditioning, particularly in the Miami winter.

​

The courtyard also creates a focus for the house, bringing the outside spaces into the house.

In addition, I am showing an example of an accessory  dwelling unit or guesthouse which can now be built in many zoning districts of Miami-Dade County.  As a Miami residential architect, I can help you with the design and construction documents for your legal accessory unit.

​

You can read more about the requirements here.

If you would like an accessory dwelling unit for your house or a courtyard home in unincorporated Miami-Dade County Grove, call Maria Luisa Castellanos, the principal of the firm, on her cell at 305-439-7898, or email at MLC@UnitedArchs.com
