ADU remodel in Asheville, NC

Hawk Design Build completed an Accessory Dwelling Unit, or ADU, remodel in beautiful historic downtown Asheville, NC. The project focused on a full refresh of the kitchen and bathroom to make the small secondary unit feel modern, durable, and comfortable for renters or guests. Work was done with attention to the character of the neighborhood while bringing the interior up to current standards.

In the kitchen we removed the old finishes and installed new cabinets that provide better storage and a cleaner look. Stone countertops were fitted to match the cabinets, giving the surfaces a solid, easy to clean finish. New appliances and fixtures were installed to improve functionality and efficiency. New flooring throughout the ADU unifies the space and replaces worn surfaces with something that will stand up to everyday use.

The bathroom was completely redone as part of the ADU remodel. We tiled a new custom shower using the Schluter system, which provides a waterproof base and reliable support for tile, reducing the risk of water damage over time. Tile layout was planned for both aesthetics and ease of cleaning. New fixtures were added to improve usability and update the look, and the overall layout was optimized within the existing footprint.

Throughout both rooms we installed new fixtures and finishes to create a cohesive look. The stone countertops in the kitchen work well with the updated cabinets and the new flooring, and the bathroom fixtures coordinate with the tiled shower for a consistent feel. All painted surfaces were newly painted to freshen the space and tie the finishes together.

Hawk Design Build took care to respect the historic setting of downtown Asheville, NC, while delivering modern materials and construction techniques. The use of the Schluter shower system is an example of choosing proven building methods to protect the unit from common issues like water intrusion. New appliances and durable surfaces make the ADU easier to maintain and more attractive to occupants.

The result is a fully updated ADU with a remodeled kitchen and bathroom, new flooring, cabinets, stone countertops, new fixtures and appliances, a custom tiled shower using the Schluter system, and fresh paint. Homeowners and property managers in Asheville now have an accessory unit that looks updated and is better prepared for daily use.
