House Call: Garage Studio by Shed Building Design
From Janet
We love Shed Building Design's transformation of a detached garage in Seattle into a functional, loftlike apartment. The 320-square-foot space features a faceted ceiling, which is designed to guide warm air to the triangular vent window for passive ventilation. Partners Prentis Hale and Thomas Schaer devised innovative space-saving strategies throughout: a support beam functions as a kitchen pot rack, and a bookshelf is tucked in the interior eaves.

Good study in optimizing space usage. Really attractive treatments ... yeah, cool pot holder. I might be worried about whacking my head on the eves getting out of bed, you have to stay pretty crouched over to get to the steps. And that is a mighty steep way down in the middle of the night to, um, do one's business (would definitely prevent me from drinking too much wine late in the evening though:) ) But considering it is a 30 sq. meter space, it's very attractive.
I *love* this site.
I am a big fan of small spaces but the sleeping loft looks like a really tight fit heightwise, even for me.
Hot. I wish I could transport this place to New York.
beautiful, airy and light feeling for such a tiny space. it even looks like entertaining is possible in the 'living room'.
it isn't even 9am and already I have terrible house envy...what a great site, I will be back xxx
I have seen this locally. It is amazing how we could all live with much less space.
You wouldn't believe the before and after. Remodelista has great shots of the previous structure:
