Sunderland Garage Apartment: Phase One Complete

Phase One Complete!

This project started with a vision to create a functional, durable, and well-designed garage space that not only meets everyday needs but also sets the foundation for future living space above.

Exterior Completion

From the outside, this garage makes a strong first impression. The bold blue siding paired with crisp white trim creates a clean, modern look that stands out against the surroundings. Black garage doors and fixtures add contrast and tie everything together for a sharp, finished appearance.

A covered lean-to on the side adds extra versatility—perfect for additional storage, workspace, or protection from the elements.

Interior – Built for Function

Inside, Phase One focused on creating a highly functional and organized workspace.

The space features:

  • Custom cabinetry for storage and organization
  • Durable counter tops for work surfaces
  • A utility sink for convenience
  • Bright, efficient lighting throughout
  • Clean wood finishes that bring warmth to the space

Everything was designed with usability in mind—whether it’s for projects, storage, or day-to-day use, this garage is built to perform.

Attention to Detail

From the lighting layout to the wall finishes and built-ins, every detail was carefully thought out. The combination of natural wood tones and modern elements creates a space that feels both practical and polished.

Looking Ahead: Phase Two

With the downstairs now complete, the next phase of this project will focus on the upstairs apartment. This will transform the structure into a multi-purpose space—adding comfortable living quarters above a fully functional garage.

Stay tuned as we move into Phase Two and bring the upstairs space to life.
