More and more families are discovering the benefits of multi-generational living. Whether you want to provide a comfortable space for aging parents, give adult children a private retreat, or simply create flexible guest accommodations, an in-law suite in Atlanta is a practical and valuable addition to your home.
At Ponce Design Build, we specialize in designing and building private, functional, and stylish in-law suites that balance independence with togetherness. With our design-build approach, every detail — from layout to finishes — is tailored to meet your family’s needs while blending seamlessly with your existing home.
Why Add an In-Law Suite?
An in-law suite isn’t just an extra bedroom. It’s a self-contained living space that provides comfort, privacy, and functionality.
Benefits include:
-
-
- Independence with Connection – Loved ones have their own private area while staying close to family.
-
- Cost Savings – Avoid expensive assisted living facilities or long-term rentals.
-
- Increased Property Value – In-law suites are highly desirable in today’s housing market.
-
- Flexible Use – Beyond family, they can serve as guest suites, short-term rentals, or even home offices.
- Future-Proofing – Plan for changing family needs without relocating.
-
With Atlanta’s growing demand for multi-generational living solutions, in-law suites have become one of the smartest home investments you can make.

Our Design-Build Process
At Ponce Design Build, we simplify the entire project by handling both design and construction under one roof:
-
-
- Consultation – We learn about your family’s needs and assess your home’s layout.
-
- Conceptual Design – Our design team creates customized plans and 3D renderings for your suite.
-
- Budgeting & Permits – Clear pricing and all necessary approvals handled for you.
-
- Construction – Skilled craftsmen build your suite with attention to detail and efficiency.
- Final Walkthrough – Together, we ensure the new space meets every expectation.
-
One thing that sets us apart from other design-build firms is our drawing proposal process. After meeting with potential clients and understanding what their dream is for the project, we create a drawing proposal that includes both a design and a full set of construction drawings. This allows us to provide an exact cost of the project, eliminating guesswork and giving homeowners confidence in their investment.
We also give clients two options for interior design support:
-
-
- Option 1: The best interior designer is you. You know your style and the dream look you want. Ponce Design Build provides a list of trusted vendors to help you make selections, while our architect develops the design of the space.
- Option 2: If you’d like more guidance, we can introduce you to an interior decorator who collaborates with our team to help you choose finishes such as tile, wallpaper, paint colors, and more.
-
This flexibility ensures every client has the right level of support to bring their vision to life.
This collaborative approach saves time, prevents miscommunication, and delivers results that feel seamless.
