Built to bring three generations together, this suite accommodates grandparents who now live closer to their family. The two-story suite is a low maintenance, efficient dwelling that will allow its occupants to age in place.
– BACKGROUND
The intended use for the suite is to house family for the foreseeable future. Long-term, the suite will become a rental. It’s a great set-up for the adult kids to keep a watchful eye on their aging parents. The grandparents can be close to their grandkids. Conveniently, the grandparents can look after the primary dwelling when the homeowners are away. The house was designed to be flexible and durable. With a palette of low-maintenance materials inside and out, the suite is easy to button-up for extended absences. Both occupants and homeowners can enjoy simple, stress-free ownership.
– THE IDEA
Early in the design process, the homeowners shared that they wanted a two-story structure. On the first floor, a den, powder room, and closet. The second floor houses a kitchen, dining, living, bathroom and sleeping areas. The interior stairwell and elevator share a common landing. Sightlines and spaces were carefully considered. Windows were placed to balance privacy and abundant South and West light.
