Garage-to-ADU – Creating Independence While Staying Connected

Project Overview

This garage conversion creates a private, independent living unit for a young adult while keeping the family close. The unit includes a private entry, full living area, complete kitchen, full bathroom, and a dedicated bedroom—designed for comfort, efficiency, and modern everyday living. The remodel unlocks underused space, supports multigenerational living, and adds long-term property value.

Design Strategy

We focused on maximizing privacy and function within the existing footprint. Careful space planning, multi-functional storage, and durable, low-maintenance finishes make the unit feel spacious and comfortable. Systems were chosen for energy efficiency and long-term reliability so the ADU works equally well as independent housing, a future rental, or a guest suite.

Key Benefits

  • Independence + Family Support: A fully self-contained unit that preserves privacy while keeping family nearby.
  • Financial Upside: Reduces external rent and increases overall property value; creates optional rental income.
  • Smart Space Reuse: Converts an underused garage into a high-value, fully functional living unit.
  • Low-Maintenance Performance: Durable materials and efficient systems for reduced operating costs.
  • Future Flexibility: Ready to serve as long-term rental, guest suite, or adaptable family housing.
