Mother-In-Law Suite Plans

These mother-in-law suite plans open up to deliver 1,206 square feet of indoor-outdoor living space. The open-plan dining, kitchen, laundry, living and bedroom constitute the 753 gross square feet of floor area, with an additional 452 gross square feet of alfresco.  The mother-in-law suite plans provide a terrace sun-drenched external area which is ideally suited for extended family or an artist in residence.  The floor area synchronizes with local authority planning schemes that provide planning policy for accessory dwelling units (ADU).  The raking ceilings of the mother-in-law suite plans conform to passive solar design principles and augment solar heat gain during the cooler winter months when correctly orientated onsite.

The mother-in-law suite plans incorporate sustainability and energy-efficient design principles to maximize passive solar design principles through absorbing the winter heat gain during the sun’s lower azimuth and storing the energy in the thermal mass of the dwelling.  The burnished concrete reinforced concrete slab heat sink releases the radiant heat energy through the cooler winter evening hours.  The fenestration of the mother-in-law suite plans integrate calculated sun shading to eliminate the worst of the summer heat gain through the while highlight windows expunge stale hot air using ‘stack effect’ ventilation principles.
