Mother-in-Law Suites

Private living space for parents, adult kids, or extended family.

An in-law suite is an ADU or addition designed specifically for multi-generational living. Private bedroom, private bath, often a small kitchenette or full kitchen, and a separate entry when possible.

What we typically build

  • Attached in-law additions with a private entry.
  • Basement conversions with their own kitchen and bath.
  • Detached ADUs designed for family rather than rental use.
  • Upper-floor suites with separate access.

Design choices that matter for in-law living

Aging-in-place features (curbless showers, wide doorways, single-floor layouts), sound separation between units, separate HVAC zoning, and accessibility-ready bathrooms make a huge difference. We talk through these choices early so they’re built in, not retrofitted later.
