LIVERPOOL

What better proof that we can increase quality housing supply in creative, community-enhancing ways than this single car garage to tiny home conversion? This garden suite is the first of its kind in downtown Guelph! This project allows the home owners to provide housing and generate income from an unfinished garage that was used for storage.

Despite being just 350 square feet, this bachelor apartment features full sized appliances, 10 ft ceilings, a custom kitchen, an electric fireplace and heated floors. We used custom millwork and white oak detailing to elevate and accentuate the space. By using an electric heating system, electric hot water tank, and Energy Recovery Ventilation system (ERV) we were able to reduce the carbon footprint of the building while maintaining a comfortable, functional, and healthy living space.
