SECONDARY SUITES & CONVERSIONS
DESIGN APPROACH
Adding a secondary suite or converting your single-family home into a multi-unit dwelling is a smart way to increase your property’s versatility, accommodate extended family, or generate rental income. However, these conversions require careful planning to meet local zoning rules, building codes, and safety standards.
Our service supports you through every step of this process. We start by assessing your property’s potential and local regulations to determine what’s feasible. Then, we develop thoughtful designs that balance privacy, accessibility, and comfort for both the main and secondary units. This often involves considerations like separate entrances, soundproofing, fire separation, and independent utilities. Beyond design, we assist with the permitting process, helping you navigate municipal requirements and respond to any requested revisions. Our goal is to create legal, safe, and livable spaces that work for your family and your long-term plans.
