Frequently Asked Questions
What is multi-generational living?+
Multi-generational living means two or more adult generations living in the same home, often grandparents, parents, and children. This can be in fully separate units or with shared common spaces. It's increasingly popular for financial and family reasons.
How do you design for multiple generations?+
We consider each generation's needs: accessibility for seniors, privacy for adults, safety for children. Common solutions include separate entrances, soundproofing between spaces, flexible rooms that can change use over time, and shared outdoor areas.
Can we have separate utility meters?+
Yes, separate electrical meters can be installed for fair cost-sharing. Water typically remains on one meter but can be estimated. Separate HVAC zones allow individual temperature control and clearer cost allocation.
Is multi-generational living legal in Ottawa?+
Yes, Ottawa's 2022 zoning changes allow secondary dwelling units in most residential areas. We ensure full compliance with Ontario Building Code and Ottawa bylaws. This provides legal protection for all occupants and maintains property value.
