This makes a lot more sense for what I'm planning to build. We're used to calling it "Master bedroom" where I'm from, but I always imagined I'd want some sort of suite or apartment, separate from the rest of the house.

Late reply but here is an example https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=INFPFC1P-iw

There called an in-law suite here, and are generally used as a form of multi-generational housing when old parents move in with their adult child.

I know what you're talking about but that is a different space.
