GRIMM | DREHER RESIDENCE
418 West Story Street, 2nd story ADU Addition to existing single car garage.
ORIGINAL CONSTRUCTION DATE (DETATCHED GARAGE): 2019
PROJECT NARRATIVE:
In 2019 Kristen Grimm and David Dreher completed a total renovation to their historic bungalow on West
Story Street, preserving and restoring the original charm and craftmanship to the degrading structure.
Since living at the property, the owners have decided they would like more space for working from home
and for guests. The single car garage that was added to the site in 2019 currently has a flat roof and
proposed plans include adding a gable roof structure and entry deck to the building, as well as water,
sewer, and utilities to make it a habitable Accessory Dwelling Unit. The existing corrugated metal
material would extend to clad the gable and roof; a steel and wood stair and deck would be added, and
windows and doors that match the existing residence and garage would be utilized. Aside from these
additions, no other alterations would be made to the property or to the existing historic residence.

STREET/ALLEY SCAPE STUDY
We feel the corrugated metal clad garage will fit in nicely with other historic ‘out buildings’ found on the south side
of Bozeman and be a modern interpretation of a historic material. These images are from nearby alley and
subordinate structures, both new and historic construction:
Our ADU addition closely relates to this 1.5 story newer construction residence on South Black. The proportions and
low second floor side wall heights, along with the corrugated material relate to this home featured on the cover of
Bozeman’s UDC.

Additional photos of existing buildings in the same alley as the proposed ADU illustrate a mix of clipped eaves and
overhangs, unique materials, and one to two story alley structures.
