Mistletoe Heights, Fort Worth
750 sq ft

The Project

The homeowners on Mistletoe had a detached structure they'd barely used in years and parents who were starting to need more consistent support. An in-law suite on the property made perfect sense — but what they had was a raw shell with no plumbing, no insulation, and minimal electrical.

We converted the entire structure into a 750-square-foot independent living unit: a full kitchen, a living area, one bedroom, and a bathroom designed for aging-in-place with a walk-in shower and grab bar blocking. The original large opening became a window and a glass entry door that floods the space with light.

The unit has a separate entrance from the side of the property, so everyone maintains genuine privacy. The parents moved in within six months of the first conversation.

My parents needed support nearby but weren't ready to give up their independence. This unit gave them both. The process was completely managed — we just made decisions and approved things.
