This Multi-Generation addition/renovation project was constructed to accommodate the homeowners’ daughter, son-in-law, and children to move back into the family home with them. The addition includes a master bedroom with an accessible en-suite bathroom, a large open concept kitchen/living/dining room area plus a small sunroom. The young family occupies the original home area while the parents opted to live in the ground level addition. The single-floor living will allow the parents to remain in the family home as they age while spending quality time with their children and grandchildren. A win-win living arrangement for them all!

For portable back-up generators, I use this Rubbermaid storage cabinet. The cord is routed from the circuit breaker panel to the exterior of the house and the entry to the cabinet is protected by a rubber grommet.

This specialty space was designed for the family dog who uses this door to the backyard. The area includes a shower hose and floor drain for washing the dog as needed. Photo by SMHerrick Photography.

Inspiration for a rustic living room remodel in Austin

This project was a complete gut remodel of the owner's childhood home. They demolished it and rebuilt it as a brand-new two-story home to house both her retired parents in an attached ADU in-law unit, as well as her own family of six. Though there is a fire door separating the ADU from the main house, it is often left open to create a truly multi-generational home. For the design of the home, the owner's one request was to create something timeless, and we aimed to honor that.
