The house maximizes floor space by providing a 3-bedroom unit with a 1-car garage in a very compact footprint.
One of the bedrooms serves as a master suite, with a separate bathroom, while the other 2 bedrooms share a bathroom. Adjacent to the living area, we also have a laundry closet that can accommodate a washer and dryer unit.
A key difficulty was in having the garage on a separate level from the main house. The site is located on a floodplain, so raising the house was essential to prevent water damage.
Access between the garage and the house is done via an interior staircase.
