Accessory dwelling units, which sometimes go by “mother-in-law apartments,” “granny flats,” “elder cottages” or “secondary suites,” among other names, are small dwellings or living spaces erected on the same property as an existing home. This dwelling becomes an "accessory" or secondary dwelling to the primary dwelling.
As the housing shortage continues to rise, uses for accessory dwelling units offer a wide range of purposes. Because they are affordable, easy to erect, many people use them to generate steady income as an AirBnB or rental space. Other uses include:
- Rental Units
- Home Gyms, Offices, Art Studios
- Man Caves / She Sheds
- Teen Apartments
- Guest Houses
Accessory dwelling units are self-contained, so there are provisions in place regarding sleeping, cooking entry and sanitation. Sunward Steel is well-versed in these provisions and can help those looking to add parent pads to their properties design units that meet their needs and comply with applicable codes and requirements.
