Guest Suites and Spaces

Accommodation for Guests

As we return to the joy of receiving visiting friends and family, you may be thinking now’s the time for more than just laying out the welcome mat. 

Wouldn’t it be great to offer them a place to stay with all the creature comforts of a good hotel and none of the cost? It would be so nice to have your company close at hand without having to travel back and forth to visit while they are in town. Invite family members from afar to hang out with you over the holidays.

No place like home

But let’s face it, after a few days even your dearest friends and family need their privacy, as do you. So how do you find that balance between wanting them to stay but not overstay their welcome? The obvious solution is to create a space of their own. A place where they can come and go as they please. Where they can visit and share meals and then retreat to the privacy you have created for them. 

How we can help

Camino Suites & Spaces Inc. can help you come up with the best solution in the form of a separate space for your guests. Let us help you decide which of the following options might work best for you.

• Design and build a stand-alone guesthouse or above the garage 
• Design and build an extension to your home
• Undertake a renovation of existing under-utilized space

Guesthouse/Garden Suite

Think about a tastefully designed and fully functional, stand-alone guesthouse in your garden. If a single storey is the best option, picture a spacious living area, fully equipped kitchen, and separate master bedroom with ensuite. If a two-storey structure works, the second floor could have two bedrooms and a full bath, and put in a half bath downstairs. Your guests can come and go as they please without disturbing the family. And it’s a short walk to sharing time together.

Garage add-on

Perhaps adding a single storey to the garage would work. Build an external staircase to a space that doubles as a sumptuous hotel suite, with sitting area, kitchenette, full bath and master bedroom. Add a sofa bed and sleep four instead of two. You might even renovate the lower level to build an internal staircase, if cold weather becomes a concern.   

Addition to existing structure or basement renovation

Perhaps an addition to your home would be ideal. Take the garden suite concept and adapt it. Depending on how much room you have, it could be the two-storey version or one-storey. And if you have under-utilized areas in your residence, we can renovate and remodel to optimize the available space.
