The Stuart ADU project transformed a rarely used garage and storage space into a functional and efficient micro home. We combined the existing accessory building with a timber and glass addition to make a comfortable one-bedroom, one-bathroom living area with high ceilings, ample sunlight, and a direct link to a beautiful garden.

The pitched roof unifies the existing accessory building with the glassed-in addition that connects the ADU to the lush garden.
