About Luxe & Co. Accessory Dwellings
Luxe & Co. Accessory Dwellings is a Massachusetts-based firm specializing in the design and construction of high-end accessory dwelling units (ADUs). Founded by real estate developer Hope Beckman and interior designer Sage Conti, the company positions itself as a full-service ADU contractor offering an integrated, turnkey approach to ADU creation.
The team brings together two distinct areas of expertise. Hope Beckman has over 25 years of experience in design, construction, and real estate development, with a background in economics and a focus on zoning, permitting, and property value strategy. Sage Conti contributes more than 21 years of experience in luxury residential design, with a background in Fine and Visual Arts. Together, they lead projects from initial concept through to completion.
ADU Services and Scope
As an accessory dwelling unit builder, Luxe & Co. manages the full project lifecycle. Their services cover:
- Zoning analysis and local permitting navigation
- Architectural planning and design
- ADU construction and project management
- Interior design and curated furnishings
- Landscape integration upon project completion
The types of ADU projects they take on include in-law suites, carriage houses, wellness studios, home offices, artist studios, entertainment spaces, and other detached or attached accessory structures. Their work is aimed at homeowners looking to add a functional and well-designed structure to their existing property.
Luxe & Co. describes itself as the only ADU firm in New England offering this fully integrated model under one roof, combining strategic real estate insight with interior design expertise. Whether a client is pursuing a granny flat, a backyard cottage, or a more elaborate casita-style structure, the company handles the coordination across all trades and disciplines involved.
Massachusetts ADU Legislation and Opportunity
Recent legislative changes in Massachusetts have made building an ADU more accessible for homeowners. In many single-family zones, homeowners can now build an ADU by right, which simplifies the permitting process and removes a number of previous restrictions. This shift has opened up opportunities for property owners who may have previously found the process too complex or restrictive.
Luxe & Co. works within this updated regulatory environment, helping clients understand what is permissible on their property and guiding them through the steps required to move a project forward. Their familiarity with local zoning and permitting is a core part of the service they offer as an ADU contractor in Massachusetts.
The firm's work has received recognition in several publications, including Boston Magazine, The Wall Street Journal, New England Home, Modern Luxury Interiors, and The Boston Globe. Sage Conti's design work has also earned awards including Modern Luxury's 2024 Best of Luxury Design and multiple honors from the International Furnishings and Design Association (IFDA).
For homeowners in Massachusetts considering adding an accessory dwelling unit to their property, Luxe & Co. offers a structured, professionally managed process from planning through to final delivery.
