This project transforms an existing detached garage into a fully reimagined 600 sq. ft. ADU through a combination of garage conversion and new addition scope. Designed in a warm modern traditional style, the unit blends clean contemporary detailing with a soft residential character that complements the existing property.

The layout is organized around comfort, openness, and efficient everyday living. The ADU includes a spacious bedroom, full bathroom, open-concept living area, and a modern kitchen with a central island and integrated dining space. Large windows and sliding glass doors introduce abundant natural light while strengthening the connection between the interior and the landscaped backyard patio.

The design emphasizes functional circulation, thoughtful proportions, and a restrained material palette combining warm wood tones, light finishes, and black accents throughout. Interior spaces are carefully optimized to maximize usability, storage, and visual openness while maintaining an airy and inviting atmosphere.

The result is a fully self-contained residential unit that transforms an underutilized garage structure into a refined contemporary living environment, adding long-term flexibility, functionality, and property value.
