About This Project

This innovative project, located in Minneapolis, MN, seamlessly combines functionality and design by transforming a spacious garage into a versatile living space. Originally designed to accommodate vehicles and ample storage, the large garage now serves a dual purpose, housing a beautifully crafted 500+ square foot studio apartment above. This addition not only maximizes the property's potential but also enhances its appeal and value. The studio apartment is thoughtfully designed to provide both comfort and privacy, making it an ideal space for visiting relatives, adult children moving back home, or guests seeking a cozy retreat. It features a modern kitchen equipped with energy-efficient appliances tailored for micro homes, allowing for ease of cooking and entertaining. The living area, adorned with stylish furnishings, is both functional and inviting, perfect for relaxation after a day of exploring the city. A cleverly integrated Murphy bed optimizes space, allowing for a seamless transition between daytime activities and restful nights. Craftsmanship is evident throughout the apartment, with high-quality materials chosen to ensure durability and aesthetic appeal. The flooring is a blend of practicality and elegance, while large windows invite natural light, creating an airy atmosphere. The bathroom is designed with modern fixtures and a thoughtful layout, ensuring that guests feel pampered and at home. Completed in 2016, this project showcases a balance of innovative design and traditional craftsmanship, culminating in a space that serves multiple purposes without compromising on style. The addition of this studio apartment above the garage has not only provided a welcoming space for guests but has also created an opportunity for rental income, appealing to Airbnb travelers seeking unique accommodations. With a project cost ranging from $50,001 to $75,000, this dual-purpose solution exemplifies the potential of residential enhancements in urban settings.
