LOUISVILLE & LEXINGTON ADU (VIRTUAL) CONFERENCE: FEB. 1 & 2, 2022
A new and flexible housing type has recently been permitted in Kentucky’s two largest cities. Most commonly referred to as the Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU), this housing type is defined as a secondary independent unit on a single-family lot. ADUs are versatile in both form and function, meeting the needs of young professionals, those aging-in-place and everyone in between. Such an opportunity has citizens and industry professionals alike asking – How might I make the most of this new housing option?
This conference is intended to offer national expertise on areas that are critical to the success of Accessory Dwelling Units as an emerging housing type.
Keynote address by Daniel Parolek, Founding Principal, Opticos Design. The renowned urban designer, architect, and author of Missing Middle Housing will explain how Accessory Dwelling Units complement the transformative “missing middle” concept.
