Converting a 5-car garage into two ADUs offers an exciting opportunity to transform underutilized space into functional living areas. This project involved repurposing the garage to create a 1-bedroom 1-bathroom ADU and a studio-style ADU, maximizing the property’s potential.
The conversion process began with careful planning and design. The existing garage layout was assessed to determine the best way to optimize the available space. A 1-bedroom 1-bathroom ADU was designed to provide a comfortable and private living area for individuals or couples. The layout included a bedroom, a bathroom, a living area, and a kitchenette, creating a self-contained unit with all the essential amenities.
Additionally, a studio-style ADU was planned to offer a versatile living space that could serve multiple purposes. This unit typically includes a combined living and sleeping area, a small kitchenette, and a bathroom. The open layout allows for flexibility in how the space is utilized, making it suitable for various needs, such as a home office, a guest suite, or a rental unit.
During the construction phase, the garage was transformed into two separate units, each with its own entrance and utilities. Structural modifications were made to ensure the units met building codes and safety regulations. Electrical, plumbing, and heating systems were installed to provide modern conveniences and functionality.
