– BACKGROUND
Our clients wanted a suite, workshop and artist’s studio, attached to a 24’x24’ garage. The garage and workshop are on the first floor while the second floor shares various functions. It is approximately 540 SF but feels larger thanks to a large light dormer and cathedral ceilings.
This Garden Suite strives for modern farmhouse vibes. Timeless board and batten fibre cement siding in creamy tones contrasts with earthy taupes.

– THE IDEA
A dominant feature of this garden suite is the South light dormer. It brings in year-round light into the common areas of the second floor. A West facing balcony was designed to sit above the garage. The Garden Suite was sited to take advantage of views out to urban parkland.
