Generational Suitesby Watermark Design Build

The suites

Three primary options. Everything else is a feature.

Attach to the house, place a build-ready casita, or master-plan a whole courtyard. Each one has a real square footage, a standard layout, and a planning range you can take to a family conversation today.

Archetype A · Attached

The Suite

An attached extension that reads as original construction

Structurally tied to your existing home. The only legal path to livable square footage on tight lots and in strict HOAs.

Planning range

$145,000 – $195,000

Best fit: Tight urban lots, dense Pinellas County parcels, and managed HOAs like FishHawk

Archetype B · Detached

The Casita

A build-ready detached guest house, pre-engineered and permit-tested

Our pre-engineered 480 sq. ft. one-bedroom shell. Skips the long design phase and goes straight to permitting.

Planning range

$120,000 – $155,000

Best fit: Quarter- to half-acre suburban lots in Hillsborough, Pasco, and unincorporated Tampa

See layouts & pricing

Archetype C · Premium courtyard

The Villa

An 864 sq. ft. suite and a pool courtyard, master-planned as one project

Our largest suite paired with a pool and pavilion to frame a private courtyard. One design, one permit set, one contract.

Planning range

$300,000 – $425,000

Best fit: Half-acre and acreage lots in Lutz, Odessa, Thonotosassa, and South Tampa
