Essex Guest House (ADU)
Location
Essex, MA
Year
2023
Additional Dwelling Unit (ADU), guest house, or in-law suite. This home is sitting gracefully in the vast embayment of the Essex salt marsh. These types of spaces have been in-demand in some of the most scenic areas of the United States. Conservative zoning demands small footprints, smaller septic tanks, and roof heights that keep structures smaller than the local Juniperus Virginiana are just some of the rules that need to be honored.
