Above is a loft bedroom that fits a queen-sized bed and a reading nook.
The stairs leading up the bedroom were also designed to be space-saving.
It has alternating tread stairs, so it can cover the entire height without using a huge space. We just hope Grandma can utilize this one for a long time!
And just beside the stairs is a pocket door leading to a single bathroom.
The key to making this ADU look spacious is letting as much light inside as possible.
They didn’t place any window to give that sense of privacy, but a huge glass door and skylights illuminated the room.
Even the kitchen, which had the loft overhead, has a glass porthole that allows the light from the loft’s skylight to brighten up the kitchen.
Martin also ensured that the home would still have a reminder of its old structure.
The home’s exterior is still the same as its original 1920s-style garage and was only made modern with the new paint.
They also kept the original concrete floor, so the structure stands on a strong and durable material.
Lastly, remnants of the old garage – like old fittings and locks – were cemented along the kitchen counter, adding to its rustic-industrial look.
It’s an amazing tiny home that might have you considering it as an option for your parents, in-laws, or perhaps yourself!
