Outbuilding of the Week: Garage Turned Studio Apartment - Gardenista
As someone who until very recently made my own home in a studio apartment I have a certain fondness for tiny spaces And... ...when I spotted this garage turned apartment designed by Sarah Trotter of Hearth Studio in Melbourne Australia it was love at first sight The apartment is my favorite kind of small space–one that uses area efficiently and manages to look bright and airy despite the small dimensions. Many of the elements inside the studio apartment were repurposed or salvaged–everything including the kitchen sink. A vestige of the apartment’s former life as a garage, the concrete floor retains the utilitarian look of the former workspace. See our post Hardscaping 101: Garage Flooring.) Simple shelving and low-profile bulkhead lighting details in the kitchen. A salvaged clawfoot tub takes center stage in the bathroom area (not to be outdone by the impressive Splitleaf Philodendron). Built onto a raised platform of salvaged wood, a simple bed. A wide-angle shot showing a sense of scale.
