A Natural Transition for Evolving Family Needs
The Altera Evolution model is a side-by-side design created for families whose needs are changing and diversifying. Its layout offers many customization possibilities, allowing you to create a one-of-a-kind home tailored to your lifestyle. Altera Evolution stands out as an evolution of the harmonious living concept, ideal for 2 generations who want to live close to one another while preserving their independence. Featuring quality materials, strong acoustic insulation between units, and large windows that maximize natural light, it provides comfort and privacy for both households. The model also follows the finish standards of the Altera series, including thermoplastic cabinetry and quartz countertops.
Key Features of the Altera Evolution Bi-Generational Model
Altera Evolution offers the option to add a garage and features 9-foot ceilings on the main floor of both units, with the possibility of adding a cathedral ceiling if desired. The standard configuration includes a half-basement, giving additional living space to the main dwelling while preserving the comfort and accessibility of the secondary unit. In this configuration, the open common room can easily be enclosed to create a second bedroom or a home office.

How This Model Adapts to Your Lot and Project
The Altera Evolution model is offered in our residential communities in Cantley and Wakefield, where its side-by-side configuration is especially well suited to wider lots in natural settings. It is designed to be built on sloped lots, notably in walkout configurations. Front landscaping may be included depending on the project, and some communities may also offer the option of a natural stone address feature. Where municipal services are not available, both units share a single well and septic system sized for the residence, and the overall structure is designed with fire-rated and sound-insulated separations to support comfort and peace of mind.
