The Diana: two homes under one roof
The Diana is a one-story Lauren Homes floor plan with 6 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms and 2,804 square feet of living area, laid out as two separate living spaces in one single-family home. The main home and a full in-law suite each have their own living area, kitchen, laundry room and garage, so two households can share a roof without sharing a front door to every part of their day.

Who the Diana is built for
- Aging parents. Mom or Dad lives steps away, with their own kitchen, laundry and garage, and family close by when they need help.
- Adult children coming home. A grown son or daughter, or a young family, gets real privacy instead of a spare bedroom down the hall.
- A friend next door. Two friends or couples who want to live side by side can share one home, one lot and one lanai.
- Caregivers and long-term guests. Someone can live in and still have a place of their own.
Separate when you want it, together when you don’t
The two sides of the Diana connect inside the house, so it still feels like one home for holidays and everyday visits. Each side also works on its own. The suite has its own kitchenette, laundry room and 1-car garage, which means a parent or an adult child can come and go, cook, and do laundry without passing through the main home. The large covered lanai across the back is the shared space where everyone ends up.
Planning the in-law suite for the years ahead
If the suite is for a parent, it is worth building it for the next 20 years, not just the first one. We can plan a curbless, zero-entry shower, wall backing for future grab bars, and a layout that works with a walker or wheelchair. Lauren Homes already uses 36-inch interior doors throughout its floor plans. Read 6 things to build into your forever home and our aging-in-place and accessible homes page for more ideas.
The right lot for the Diana
Build the Diana on a lot with city water and sewer, or on an oversized piece of property. With nearly 3,922 square feet under roof, the Diana fills most of a standard lot, and a well and septic system need room the house doesn’t leave. On acreage in North Fort Myers or Alva, there is space for the house, a well and a septic system.
Before you buy a lot for the Diana, we can check utilities, size, setbacks and flood elevation for you. See our lot evaluation and septic vs. sewer pages.
What to think through before you build
- A second kitchen, laundry room and garage add to the cost compared with a single-family plan of the same size. We price them line by line so you can see the difference.
- Decide early who will live in the suite. That changes choices like the suite’s shower, door widths and storage.
- If you are thinking about renting the suite to someone outside the family, check your city or county rules and any HOA covenants first.
Included in every Lauren Homes home
Impact-resistant windows and doors, a metal roof, spray-foam insulation, quartz countertops, dovetail soft-close cabinetry, 8-foot interior doors, a paver driveway and lanai, and an epoxy garage floor. See all standard features.
Diana floor plan FAQs
Who is the Diana floor plan for?
The Diana is for anyone who wants two households under one roof: aging parents moving in, adult children coming back home, a caregiver, long-term guests, or even a close friend who wants to live next door. Each side has its own living area, kitchen, laundry and garage.
Is the Diana one house or two?
It is a single-family home with two separate living spaces. The main home and the in-law suite connect inside the house, but each side has its own kitchen or kitchenette, laundry room and garage, so the two households can live independently.
What kind of lot does the Diana need?
The Diana should be built on a lot with city water and sewer, or on an oversized piece of property. With nearly 3,922 square feet under roof, it does not leave room on a standard lot for a well and septic system.
Can the in-law suite be designed for aging in place?
Yes. We can plan the suite with a curbless, zero-entry shower, wall backing for grab bars, and wide doorways. Lauren Homes uses 36-inch interior doors throughout its floor plans, which helps with walkers and wheelchairs.
Can Lauren Homes build the Diana on land I already own?
Yes, as long as the lot works for it. We build on your lot in Cape Coral, Fort Myers, North Fort Myers, Alva, Lehigh Acres and Punta Gorda, and we review the lot’s utilities, size, setbacks and flood elevation before we price the home.
