From Garage to Gorgeous: Converting a 380 sqft Space into a Stylish Studio ADU

Converting a 380 sqft garage into a studio-style ADU provides an exciting opportunity to repurpose existing space and create a functional and stylish living area. The project aims to maximize the available square footage while incorporating modern design elements.

The design process for the conversion focused on creating an open and inviting atmosphere within the limited space. Thoughtful consideration was given to the layout, ensuring optimal flow and functionality. Efficient space planning was essential to incorporate all necessary areas, including a living/sleeping area, a kitchenette, and a bathroom.
During the construction phase, several challenges were overcome to successfully convert the garage into a habitable space. Structural modifications were made to meet building codes and regulations, ensuring the safety and stability of the ADU. Plumbing, electrical, and heating systems were installed or upgraded to provide modern amenities and comfort.

The interior design of the studio-style ADU aimed to create a visually appealing and cohesive space. Careful selection of materials, colors, and finishes played a crucial role in enhancing the overall ambiance. Clever storage solutions were integrated to maximize space utilization and maintain a clutter-free environment.
This project exemplifies the potential of ADUs as valuable additions to properties, providing flexibility, additional living space, and potential income generation.
