Transitioning a two-car garage into a warm, secluded suite to accommodate this new living arrangement.

When circumstances called for a modern-day role reversal — a father moving into his daughter's family home — Cottage & Key Design Studio stepped in. This residential construction and furnishing project provided the perfect foundation to demonstrate our expertise in maximizing small spaces. By prioritizing warm tones, various textures & layers, and soft lighting, no hints of a converted garage remain. Now, it's the place for dad — one that feels put-together and private, still with plenty of exterior room for one car and storage.
