AARP Design Competition Public Showcase

ABOUT THIS EVENT
Three interdisciplinary teams of designers, builders and Colorado State University Interior Architecture & Design and Construction Management students will unveil three distinct accessory dwelling unit (ADU) designs created for a actual Ft. Collins property.
Each team has explored how thoughtful architecture and interior design can bring together beauty, accessibility, adaptability, health, safety and connection. The result: small homes designed to help people live well as their needs change over a lifetime.
See the final designs at full scale and hear the teams share their ideas and discover how using the Lifelong Homes and Communities initiative can expand the possibilities for ADUs in our communities. The concepts will also be presented to a jury as part of the Design Challenge, with awards announced at a separate reception on December 4.
Whether you’re a homeowner exploring an ADU, a design or building professional, a student or simply curious about innovative housing ideas, we invite you to be part of the conversation.
The Challenge is led by Colorado State University’s Institute for the Built Environment with support from an AARP Community Challenge grant.
Come imagine the possibilities that a small accessory home can offer!
