Phoenix Garage Addition with Studio, Kitchenette & Bathroom

This Phoenix residential project transformed an existing detached garage into a more versatile property feature with the construction of a 306-square-foot attached studio addition.

Designed to provide comfortable, functional living space, the new studio includes an open living area, kitchenette, and full bathroom. The project involved new foundation work, structural framing, roofing, plumbing, electrical, and mechanical systems, along with interior and exterior finishes that complement the existing property.
