Martin Brown, residing in Portland, Oregon, made the decision to transform his garage into a charming home for his mother-in-law, providing her with proximity to her grandson without the necessity for a new residence.
Despite its compact size, the home was thoughtfully planned, incorporating all necessary spaces. It includes a cozy sofa bed, fireplace, well-appointed kitchen, loft bedroom with a skylight, and a small bathroom. The design emphasizes natural light, utilizing a glass door and skylights to establish an open atmosphere. Preserving elements of the original 1920s garage, like the concrete floor and vintage fixtures, adds a rustic charm.
This innovative approach delivers a comfortable and practical living environment, presenting an appealing alternative for family housing.
