Being environmentally conscious starts with reusing the existing structure instead of building new ones. Convert existing garages reduces resources, curbs carbon emissions and urban sprawl, and stimulates innovation in architecture and engineering.
In the Carlsbad ADU/Garage Conversion, we designed the space to change configurations easily to accommodate a variation of tenants who will live in the space over time. The ADU has an extra bed and folding table/workstation integrated into a cabinet wall downstairs, a garage door that expands the interior to the exterior, and a mezzanine level for additional privacy. Whether one, two, or three people live in the ADU or if there are visitors who come and go, the space can be transformed as needed. It can mutate as a dining room, an office, a bedroom, or a yoga room on the same day to meet the tenants’ needs. Reusing existing structures with flexible space is the best way to be sustainable and promotes a greener future.
We believe that we don’t need big homes – we need environmentally homes with flexible spaces that can be transformed depending on the lifestyle and needs of those who live there.
