An In-Law Apartment I designed a few years ago is to be featured in an upcoming book by Michael Litchfield. The book is called in-laws, outlaws and granny flats; and is slated to be available in bookstores and online by late February / early March.
The book features a number of case studies that illustrate ways in which homeowners are creating in-law suites. In our case study - called "Billys Place" we converted an existing garage attic space into a beautiful live able one room studio for Grandpa.

We used the volumes created by the shape of the roof and dormers to zone distinct spaces within. |
