Transforming a Forgotten Structure into a Sophisticated Guest Retreat
Challenge:
The goal was to convert a deteriorating outbuilding—once used for storage—into a refined, standalone in-law suite that felt both private and connected to the property’s character.
Solution:
We reimagined the space with a focus on charm and efficiency:
Reconfigured bathroom and bedroom layouts to maximize functionality
Restored and refinished the original 1930s cast iron sink for the kitchenette
Rebuilt stairs and installed salvaged cedar beams from a nearby structure for authenticity and warmth
