Sunrise

Transforming a Detached Garage into a Functional ADU at Sunrise

The Sunrise project involved the successful conversion of an existing detached garage into a fully functional Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU), creating valuable additional living space while enhancing the overall property. Located on Vancouver Island, this thoughtfully designed transformation maximized the existing structure to deliver a comfortable, modern, and self-contained residence.

Careful planning and construction were required to convert the garage into a code-compliant living space complete with essential utilities, efficient layouts, and high-quality finishes. The design prioritized functionality, comfort, and long-term durability while seamlessly integrating the new ADU with the character of the existing property.

From structural modifications and insulation upgrades to interior finishing and utility connections, every aspect of the project was completed with attention to detail and craftsmanship. The finished space now provides flexible living accommodations suitable for family members, guests, or rental opportunities.

As housing needs continue to evolve across Vancouver Island, projects like Sunrise demonstrate how underutilized spaces can be transformed into practical, attractive living environments that add lasting value to a property.
