ADU/Garage Conversion

The goal of this ADU project was to convert a garage into an Art Studio that could also function like a short term residence. The client wanted to make a small space feel big, with commitment to natural light and plenty of functionality. The existing trusses were exposed and finished in order to add height, and the new 13 ft ceiling was finished in T&G cedar to add a PNW warmth. This once-detached garage now has a tiled bath with a curbless shower, kitchenette, study area with a custom hardwood built-in desk and shelves to compliment.

    …and the final inspection, the Mallard Brothers (Kevin, Keenan & Tyler) were phenomenal. Their team approach with clients, great communication and collaboration skills in addition to exemplary design, carpentry and construction skills resulted in a studio/home that’s beautiful, friendly, welcoming and awesome! It was truly a pleasure working with them and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.
