A "granny pod," also called an accessory dwelling unit (ADU) or in-law suite, is a self-contained living space placed on a family property, allowing aging parents or loved ones to maintain their independence while staying close to the support of family. As multigenerational living continues to grow across the country, granny pods have become one of the most compassionate and cost-effective alternatives to assisted living facilities. They offer privacy and dignity for the occupant while giving family members peace of mind knowing help is just steps away.

InterShelter domes are an ideal foundation for a granny pod. Our structures go up quickly on virtually any terrain — no expensive foundation work required — and can be fully insulated, climate-controlled, and finished to be a warm, comfortable home. With thoughtful interior layout options that maximize every square foot and the option to add windows, full kitchens, and bathrooms, an InterShelter dome delivers everything a loved one needs to live comfortably and independently. Durable enough to handle decades of use and distinctive enough to add character to any property, it's not just a place to stay, it's a place to thrive.
