The Nursery

Clients: Liz & Katie
Challenge: Urgent need for multi-generational housing without long-term financial risk
Solution: The Driveway Suite

Liz was enjoying her life in a rental bungalow when her eldest daughter, Katie, needed to move home unexpectedly with a newborn baby.

• The Dilemma: Liz lacked the space for a nursery and a new mother, but moving to a larger rental was expensive and time-consuming.
• The Long-Term Trap: Liz didn't want to sign a long-term lease on a larger, more expensive property for a situation that was only temporary.
• The Landlord Factor: Because Liz was a valued tenant, her landlord quickly approved a temporary structure to keep her in the property.

Liz chose a strategic 'room swap.'

• The Setup: A cabin was positioned on the driveway, directly by the front door for easy access.
• The Swap: Liz moved into the clean, modern cabin, giving Katie and the newborn the master bedroom and full amenities inside the house.
• The Proximity: This arrangement provided Katie with the support of her mother nearby, while still giving both women their own front doors.

When Katie eventually reunited with her partner, the transition out was seamless. One phone call to Cabin King, and the driveway was clear again, returning Liz’s life (and rent) to normal.
