It can be a clever housing solution to transform an unused garage into an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU).
Martin Brown, of Portland, Oregon, opted to convert his garage into a cozy ADU for his mother-in-law, allowing her to be close to her grandson without the need for a new house.
Despite its size, the ADU was intelligently designed with all essential rooms. The space features a comfortable sofa bed, fireplace, well-equipped kitchen, loft bedroom with a skylight, and a compact bathroom.
The design of the house prioritizes light, using a glass door and skylights to create a spacious feel. Retaining elements of the original 1920s garage, such as the concrete floor and old fittings, adds a rustic touch.
This creative ADU provides a warm and functional living space, offering an inspiring alternative for family accommodation.
