One day I want to build ...
I start a lot of sentences like that in my crazy head. Particularly when I see something like
this studio apartment built atop a 2-car garage in Auckland, New Zealand. Maybe I could possibly, someday — you know, after I leave Japan AND win the lottery AND learn to focus on one thing for longer than 30 seconds — build something like this at
my Denver bungalow over the existing detached garage.
What a great use of space. I love the idea of accessory dwelling units for extra space for homes like mine that are too small for guests. These units can also be rented for extra income either long-term or as vacation rentals on
AirBnB. You might recall
I'm big on the sharing economy.
My house's current zoning doesn't yet allow for the bathroom & kitchen elements but just to have bright airy studio space above the garage sounds like a wonderful idea to me. Well, as long as I actually
use the space ... and that does not include using it as storage!
At the very least I'll be looking into this idea ... one day. We all have crazy dreams, so what are yours? Let's hear em.
