White Center / garage conversion

594 square feet put to a new use.

Over four months, an unfinished garage became a flexible work and living area with a kitchenette, bathroom, storage, and guest accommodations.

01 / EXISTING TO NEW USE

A conversion is more than finishing the walls.

The project had to organize several new uses inside one existing shell: a work and living area, kitchenette, bathroom, storage, and space for guests.

The photographs keep the original garage, new bathroom framing, close-in, and completed room together so the result is not separated from the work that created it.

01EXISTING GARAGE

The record starts with the unfinished space

The original garage shell is visible before the new bathroom, kitchenette, storage, and living functions were built into it.

02BATHROOM FRAMING

A new room took shape inside the shell

Framing defines the bathroom footprint while the surrounding garage remains open enough to show how the new room fits inside the larger conversion.

03CLOSE-IN

The new layout became enclosed space

Drywall, ceiling openings, wall joints, and the newly defined room volumes are visible before final surface work and fixtures are complete.

04BATHROOM ENTRY

The bathroom became part of the finished plan

A sliding door and completed doorway connect the new bathroom to the flexible main room without giving the door swing more floor area than it needs.

05FLEXIBLE LIVING AREA

The garage became usable interior space

The completed view brings together the kitchenette, finished floor and walls, lighting, living area, and access to the new bathroom.

06STORAGE + GUEST USE

Storage was built into the new use
