In-Law Suite

BUILDING OUT... AND FORWARD

An in-law suite is a self-contained living space within a larger home

An in-law suite in Ottawa is a self-contained living space within a larger home or on the same property as the main home. This type of living space is usually designed to accommodate extended family members, such as elderly parents or adult children. In-law suites can include a separate bedroom, kitchen, bathroom, and living area. In-law suites can be an ideal living arrangement for multi-generational families who want to live together but maintain their independence.
They can provide elderly parents with easy access to their children and grandchildren while allowing them to maintain their own space. In some cases, in-law suites can even be rented out to generate additional income. In-law suites can also be used for other purposes such as home offices, guest quarters, or rental units. With some creative design, in-law suites can provide a comfortable and convenient living space for a variety of purposes.
