What to do when you need a garage, an office, a large storage area, and a "hang out" space outside of your small 990 square foot house? Making Modern Home helped this owner meet all of these needs by looking towards the detached over-sized one-car garage. Part of the garage was retained for 1 car, but in the additional 7'-0" of space an office was built and a 18'-0" x 8'-0" storage loft was built over the parking structure. At only 7'-0" wide, the office makes the most of the space with floating cabinets, custom oak woodwork, a hand-built pipe ladder to the loft, and the reuse of a door from the original 1930's main house. The owner is enjoying the space and updated the yard with some design advice from Making Modern Home, complimenting the new garage office. Photos by Jeff Wilson.
