The Great House is an innovative
architectural design concept for Affordable Dwelling Units.
Since the program began in 1991, Fairfax County developers
of projects containing ADUs have developed only townhouse
and low-rise multi-family construction. This has not fit well
in projects that are otherwise developed as single family
detached. The Great House design offers an effective alternative
to the traditional townhouse options by providing an attached
unit that blends in better with detached housing units. The
exterior of the building resembles the larger single family
detached homes that neighbor the Great House; however, inside,
the building is divided into two or more individual units.
To date, two projects containing attached Great House units
have been built in Fairfax County - one with two units in
a single building (the duplex model) and the other with four
units per building (the multiplex model).
