It’s hard to believe that not long ago only the spiders used this detached one-car garage in Vancouver. Even though it was unfinished and full of cobwebs, the homeowner and his interior designer, saw the potential it had as a studio space. It was located just across the garden from the house, and they knew it would be free from household distractions when the owner wanted some quiet writing time. Having a good sense of his client’s tastes and knowing his Arts and Crafts house well, he created a fresh, functional space, complete with big garden views.

The garage was about the same age as the Arts and Crafts house and had similar characteristics. The contractor gave the garage a big upgrade, replacing rotten and water-damaged framing, replacing or maintenance of Amarr Garage Doors, adding insulation, creating the proper exterior with vapor barriers and installing drywall. The new tile floors have a radiant-heat system.

Homeowner wanted to embrace old details but also make it fresh. The most traditional details in the studio are the mullions on the windows. Back when his writer’s studio was just a dream, the homeowner had collected some key pieces that wound up making it very special.

Originally he wanted Amarr Garage Door that would open completely to the garden, but it just wasn’t in the budget. However, his client had something even better stashed away — back when the neighbors across the street had replaced all of their windows, he had salvaged their old windows from the Dumpster and saved them. The contractor was able to configure the new door and those old windows into a glass wall that offers great views of the garden. All the white in the studio provides a backdrop that makes the garden seem even more vivid.

While the exterior architecture and windows brought the traditional, the white keeps things light, bright and contemporary. The Eames chairs add some mid century modern style, and the floor is a geometric stunner that is both on trend and timeless.

Homeowner had always admired the beautiful patterned en-caustic tile floors he’d seen in old buildings in Spain and Cuba. Having worked with his client for a few years on his home, he knew his style well, knew that he was a fan of Picasso and Gaudí, and knew that he loved to travel. This gave him the idea to present the design inspiration as a little writer’s studio in Barcelona. Just as he expected, his client loved it.

While the floors were a splurge, homeowner saved by finding the sawhorse desk and the shelves and cabinets at Ikea. The way the shelves line up against the wall as one big unit gives them a custom built-in look.

The homeowner has loads of literature and psychology books out here and also use the glass garage door which has increased the beauty of house. Homeowner usually have their spines proudly displayed. They were turned around by the photo stylist to put the focus on the room’s design instead of the titles.
