This project embarks on a journey to reimagine the historical allure of a century-old townhouse while catering to contemporary demands for urban living. Our client’s vision for this property, built in 1905, is to repurpose it into three distinct Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs), each offering a unique blend of modern amenities and timeless charm.

Tasked with the challenge of transforming a historic townhouse into a multi-unit rental property, Bitarchitects navigates the delicate balance between preserving the architectural integrity of the original structure and infusing it with functional and stylish modern elements.

The project is driven by the desire to honor the townhouse’s rich history while meeting the evolving needs of urban dwellers. By carefully dissecting the existing layout and structural features, Bitarchitects aims to create three separate living spaces that exude individuality and character while seamlessly integrating contemporary comforts.

At the heart of the design is the commitment to maximizing functionality and profitability without compromising on aesthetic appeal. Each ADU is meticulously crafted to offer a harmonious blend of form and function, catering to the demands of modern urban living.

The project envisions a revitalized 3007 11TH ST NW as a testament to the seamless integration of historical charm and contemporary convenience. By preserving the townhouse’s architectural legacy while redefining its purpose for the 21st century, Bitarchitects seeks to create a lasting impact on the urban landscape.

With a tagline of “Preserving Heritage, Elevating Living,” the project embodies our client’s vision of transforming a historic townhouse into a modern urban oasis. For future tenants, it represents an opportunity to experience the charm of historic living combined with the comforts of modern amenities. Within the architectural community, it serves as a beacon of inspiration, showcasing the possibilities of adaptive reuse and sustainable design.
