A couple living in Frogtown approached Tecnico to help transform their existing 420 square foot playroom and garage into a cozy and functional ADU rental.
Tecnico took on the challenge of renovating preserving the historical integrity of the 20' x 20' garage while modernizing it to meet the needs of contemporary living. The structure, built in 1900, had undergone modifications over the years, including a small addition with a bathroom and kitchen from previous owners.
We worked closely with the couple, ensuring every design choice reflected their personal tastes and needs. Tecnico handled the design options, plan set drawings, and permit submissions, ensuring a smooth process. The result was a beautifully transformed Studio ADU that offered a modern comfort—blending old and new, ready to welcome their new neighbor.
