Accessory dwelling units by award-winning architects.
Why Choose Second Suite for Your ADU?
The demand for ADUs in Minneapolis and St. Paul is growing—and for good reason. These small, standalone homes offer smart solutions for multigenerational living, downsizing, remote work, or generating passive rental income.
Second Suite was created to make it easier for Twin Cities homeowners to build legally compliant, beautifully designed ADUs that meet their needs today and in the future.

Custom Tailored Solutions

A Winning Team
Second Suite is an offering from the team at Christopher Strom Architects. Chris Strom, the founder and principal architect of CSA, has been called the Twin City’s “ADU Guru.” He has 15 years of architectural experience and is very familiar with Minneapolis Residential Zoning Code; in fact, he has been an advisor to city zoning staff for recent Minneapolis residential code changes including the adoption of the Accessory Dwelling Unit Ordinance.
While we enjoy winning awards, that is not our goal. Our goal is to design a Second Suite which best serves the needs of you and your family.
