Four paths to more independence

Find the space
that fits your family.

Start with the property and the resident's everyday routine. Each path has different opportunities, constraints and questions to resolve.

Create a connected suite with a layout designed around privacy, daily access and your existing home.

Explore existing space carefully before turning the lower level into a place someone lives every day.

Test the slab, enclosure, entry and lost parking before treating a garage as ready-made living space.

Plan a separate living space together with its land-use approval, utility connections and everyday route to family.
