We converted the original attached garage of our client's home and turned it into a one-of-a-kind studio ADU (Accessory Dwelling Unt). The ADU measures at 20',7 in." x 19',7in.", it has a kitchenette, a full bathroom, closet space, living room space, and sleeping space. The kitchenette has a brand new white shaker cabinet combined with a smooth white marble countertop and white subway tiles. The kitchenette has a brand new deep stainless steel sink, stovetop, microwave, and refrigerator. The ADU has modern features including; central A/C, smart power outlets, gray vinyl wood flooring, and recessed lighting. The full bathroom has a beautiful 5'x 2',6" marbled tiled shower with tempered glass, dark gray hexagon tiles, and nickel brush faucet and showerhead. The vanity in the bathroom has a solid white porcelain countertop and a modern black flat-panel cabinet. The bathroom also has space for a stacked washer and dryer.

The homeowner of this old, detached garage wanted to create a functional living space with a kitchen, bathroom and second-story bedroom, while still maintaining a functional garage space. We salvaged hickory wood for the floors and built custom fir cabinets in the kitchen with patchwork tile backsplash and energy efficient appliances. As a historical home but without historical requirements, we had fun blending era-specific elements like traditional wood windows, French doors, and wood garage doors with modern elements like solar panels on the roof and accent lighting in the stair risers. In preparation for the next phase of construction (a full kitchen remodel and addition to the main house), we connected the plumbing between the main house and carriage house to make the project more cost-effective. We also built a new gate with custom stonework to match the trellis, expanded the patio between the main house and garage, and installed a gas fire pit to seamlessly tie the structures together and provide a year-round outdoor living space.

To enjoy the view of the backyard as well as the natural lighting this space has a new construction window and newly added skylight. We added two more of the medicine cabinet conversions and continued the mosaic slab flooring throughout the studio. The entire studio has a teek baseboard trim and fresh interior paint.
