A great ADU looks different depending on who it’s for: a garage apartment that doubles as a home office, a suite for family, a rental that helps carry the property. Here’s a closer look at real accessory dwelling units ReVision Design + Build has designed and built in Charlotte.

This family brought ReVision the framed shell of an ADU over a detached garage, with plumbing rough-ins, windows, and a set budget already in place. The completed space now works as a quiet home office, while remaining planned for future use as an apartment for in-laws or a hangout space for teenagers. A simple, minimalist kitchen, a reading nook with bench storage, and a bathroom-and-laundry layout support everyday use.
Behind glass doors, this NoDa ADU opens to a kitchen and living area filled with sunlight. Its thoughtful layout makes every square foot count, providing a cozy bedroom and a stylish bathroom within a modern retreat set into the backyard. The project shows how a compact yard can hold extra living space, a guest suite, or a private getaway when the design is carefully considered.
Every lot invites a different approach to an accessory dwelling unit. ReVision’s in-house design team can help shape interior planning for options ranging from backyard cottages to garage and basement conversions.

Across every ADU on this page, the same things hold true: the unit is planned as a complete home, with its own entry, kitchen, and bath, and sited and designed to feel like part of the property rather than an afterthought. The zoning, utility, and permit questions are solved at the start, so the design can stay the point, and the interiors are finished like a home, not a utility build.
