The clients set out to build a home that could support their growing family and their parents, all close together yet fully independent. The result: a design that unites a family residence, income suite and carriage home on one connected, welcoming property.
From daily routines to hosting family gatherings, every space here was designed with connection in mind. The open main floor invites everyone together, while the carriage home and rental suite give each household room to be independent, comfortable and at home.
The clients wanted a property to support their whole family across generations, a main house for their family, a rental suite for extra income and a single-level carriage home for their parents. Independence mattered as much as connection.
Connaught Heights in New Westminster suited that vision: a quiet, family-friendly neighbourhood close to parks, schools and transit, and conveniently near the family's daycare. Local zoning supports multigenerational properties and carriage homes.
The main floor centres on an open kitchen, dining and living area flowing to a covered deck, with a guest room and den adding flexibility. Bedrooms upstairs give the family room to grow, while the self-contained basement suite runs independent of the main home. A single-level carriage home completes the property, built for accessible, long-term living.
What stands out is how naturally the home balances shared and private space. A dedicated mudroom, rec room and gym add everyday livability, while clear separation between house, suite and carriage home keeps the property flexible.
Custom millwork and cabinetry anchor the main living spaces, paired with a warm, neutral palette that carries through the main home and carriage home for a cohesive result.
