Converting a garage to a guest suite and storage in Berkeley

When Sarah and George thought about the old garage behind their home, they realized they could get more from it. They considered either repairing the garage or converting it into a livable space.

A New Avenue designer created an accessory structure that can be used as a guest room, office, or creative space. The floorplan includes a bathroom, laundry facilities, a bedroom/study area, and a storage area optimized for bicycles.

The homeowners will enjoy this renewed structure for many years to come. It can serve as an additional bedroom, a home office, or a creative studio. Regardless of its primary use, it will also serve as storage (something everyone needs more of) throughout its long lifetime.
