This project aims to preserve the charm of a century-old townhouse while meeting the needs of modern city living. Built in 1905, the property will be converted into three separate Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs). Each unit will combine modern features with the charm of the original building.

Bitarchitects will transform the historic townhouse into a multi-unit rental property. To do this, the team will keep the building’s original character while adding modern and useful features. This approach will help preserve the townhouse’s history while making it suitable for today’s residents.

The project also aims to meet the changing needs of city residents. To support this goal, Bitarchitects will review the existing layout and structure. Based on this review, the team will plan three separate living spaces, each with its own character. At the same time, modern features will help make each unit comfortable and practical.

In addition, the project focuses on making the best use of space and improving rental value without losing the property’s visual appeal. For this reason, Bitarchitects will design each ADU to balance practical use with an attractive look. This will help meet the needs of people seeking modern city living.

The project will give new life to 3007 11TH ST NW by combining historic charm with modern comfort. By keeping the townhouse’s original architectural features and adapting it for today’s needs, Bitarchitects aims to make a lasting contribution to the neighborhood.

The tagline, “Preserving Heritage, Elevating Living,” reflects the client’s vision of turning a historic townhouse into a modern urban home. As a result, future tenants will be able to enjoy the charm of a historic property along with modern comforts. The project will also show the architectural community how older buildings can serve new purposes through adaptive reuse and sustainable design.
