If you have an unused garage, why not convert it to an ADU?
ADU, the short-term Accessory Dwelling Unit, is a separate housing unit in a family residential lot.
It’s like an additional house, a bit tinier than the primary home, right beside or attached to the house
It’s called an “accessory” only because it is a secondary unit, rather than describing the structure since it is more functional than the term “accessory” suggests.
Martin Brown moved to Portland, Oregon, and converted his garage into an ADU.
He loved the city and started a family there.
But when his son Sebastian came along, his mother-in-law wanted to live close by so she could be there for her grandson.
Instead of buying a new house, Martin considered converting their garage into the grandmother’s home.ADVERTISEMENT
It’s a cozy home that has everything one would need.
They rebuilt and redesigned the house so it would accommodate the basic rooms of a home.
Despite the size, they made it work, and it was even more spacious than expected.
They also added some planters and a walkway to make it feel like a separate home.
There’s this sense of warmth and homey-ness the moment you step inside the home.
There’s a sofa bed that is comfortable enough to sit and have some downtime while looking out the glass door, which opens as a guest bed whenever needed.
It has a fireplace to keep the place cozy and warm.
They did not skimp on the kitchen space on this one, either.
There’s a full-sized fridge, a two-stove burner, and a single sink. There are no cabinets, but enough shelf space to keep things open and easy to reach.
All pots, pans, plates, and other utensils are placed in hanging racks which are also perfect for drying.
