Reed Maltzman and Jennifer Gosselin had a two-car garage off of their house in San Francisco, but they needed space for people, not cars.
So the couple enlisted Maltzman’s childhood friend, architect Jonathan Feldman, to transform half of the detached structure into this 400-square-foot guest room and office.
“It’s small, but we’ve all found a different use for it when guests aren’t visiting,” says Maltzman, a fifth-grade teacher. He uses it as a quiet getaway where he can grade papers; 4- year-old Max has claimed the closet as a favorite hiding place; and Gosselin prefers the loft for napping.
“It’s exactly what we’ve always wanted,” Maltzman says. “It’s just cozy.”
They used Smith & Fong’s Durapalm for the flooring and added a dark stain. The plantation-grown coconut palm is relatively inexpensive and hardwearing.
Architect Jonathan Feldman increased livable space ― but not the home’s footprint ― by smartly reconfiguring an existing structure.
Replacing the flat roof with a gabled one created space for the loft, which sits above the garage’s remaining parking spot.
