Maison garage: old parking as tiny home in Bordeaux

This project consists of the transformation of a garage into a single level, one roomed residential dwelling of 41m2.

This former garage is situated within the passage Buhan, close to the public square, Stalingrad.
 The access to the property was formed by the means of 2 gates from the streets of Monméjean-la Bastide and Benauge.
 The buildings face the length of a private route meaning each property owner possesses half of this space.
 The garage’s only elevation onto this passage was one of 6m in length yet the other faces were either blind or shared party walls.

 A patio measuring 4m long by 2.20m wide was created and placed within the new buildings interior.
 This space allows both natural lighting and ventilation for the new special organisation. It provides also an extension to the main living area for during good weather feasible with the large sliding windows.

 The interior is completely hollwed out and now glazed by the patio. In order to clear the largest space possible and to benefit of its varied special qualities despite its size, all the main essential living requirements excluding the kitchen which fronts the passage, is concentrated within a box measuring 3.60m long by 3m wide by 3m high.
 This box, in its polished finish contains a shower room and its functionaries, the boiler, washing machine, a dressing room, a sofa/bed convertible when needed, an office, storage space, a staircase and a sleeping space above.
