Accessory dwelling unit Charlotte plans that work

An ADU is a secondary home on your property. Queen Boss Construction designs and builds detached cottages, attached suites, and garage apartments for families across Charlotte and nearby towns. Use the space for a parent, a guest suite, a rental, or a private studio. If you are comparing projects, review home additions to see when an attached expansion might be the better fit.

Types of ADUs

Detached, attached, and conversions

  • Detached ADUs

    A backyard cottage with its own entry. Ideal for privacy or rental use.

  • Attached ADUs

    A suite that connects to the main home with a private bath and kitchenette.


  • Garage or basement conversions

    Turn an existing structure into a small apartment with egress, insulation, and separate systems where required.

Every lot is different. We evaluate zoning, setbacks, height limits, parking, and utility connections before design. Our team proposes floor plans that feel open in a small footprint, plans windows for privacy, and selects durable finishes. When space is tight, we add built ins, compact appliances, and storage under stairs. If rules are better met by an addition, we can pivot to home additions without starting over.
