A representative detached accessory-living case study showing how ACE can evaluate site use, servicing, access and buildability before construction begins.
This is a representative ACE case study built to show how the project would be evaluated, planned and delivered. It is not presented as a completed client project and does not claim a verified budget, address, timeline or client result.
The rear yard offered potential for additional living space, but the viability of the project depended on property dimensions, access, servicing, privacy and municipal requirements—not just the design of the building itself.
ACE would begin with a site and property review, then coordinate the proposed suite around access, utilities, setbacks, building size and the relationship between the new structure and the main home.
Let property conditions determine the most practical layout.
Consider windows, entries and outdoor areas for both dwellings.
Make a compact building feel functional through strong planning.
Design for family use, work, aging-in-place or permitted rental use.
These images are representative of the project type and are placeholders until verified ACE project photography is available.
The intended result is a detached living space that makes better use of the property while remaining visually and functionally connected to the overall site.
Tell ACE what you own, what you want to change and what you want the property to become.
