Raleigh St. ADU

West Colfax Infill with ADU

Two-story Multi-functional ADU

1 Bed, 1 Bath, 330 SQFT of living space
489 SQFT garage
Completed 2024

This 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath home with a detached 1-bedroom ADU showcases smart infill development in West Colfax. Originally a 6,250 SF lot, a zone lot amendment allowed it to be split into two 3,000 SF parcels—each now featuring a single-family home with an ADU.

Located near the Perry Street light rail station, the project adds thoughtful density in a highly accessible neighborhood. Creative design solutions kept the build efficient and code-compliant, including a sunken first level that enabled a third story within height limits. Challenging soil conditions ruled out a basement, guiding a cost-effective approach.

"smart details and practical refinements that made a real difference."

"L&D stood out immediately for their thoughtful approach and clear expertise in ADU construction. We found them through a referral from our architect, and they also came up during our own research into ADU specialists in the area, which gave us confidence from the start.

L&D helped elevate the space through smart details and practical refinements that made a real difference. We had complete trust in L&D to get the build right, and they followed through by meeting their timeline, communicating clearly, and being responsive whenever questions or changes came up. Their input on functional touches improved how the space actually works day to day, adding flexibility without overcomplicating anything.

What we appreciated most was their ability to think through how the space would be used over time. The finished ADU feels efficient, adaptable, and well executed. We're extremely happy with the result and would confidently recommend L&D to anyone considering an ADU."
