Backyard Cottage

A 450sf two story loft studio rising up from the ruins of a 1920s garage (the neighbor's tree fell on it). The open loft space was achieved by pushing the two story element 3.5 feet to the north and west of the original garage footprint. A bathroom and kitchenette make up the diminutive cottage which features recycled windows, flooring, concrete and lumber from both the original garage and other sources.
