The Modern Carriage House

This carriage house is a modern interpretation of a traditional building form. Carriage houses provide a commanding view elevated over the land. It is at home on an estate, as an accessory dwelling unit (ADU,) or even as a primary home on a small city lot. In addition to providing storage for modern-day carriages, it houses families and renters. It is a very efficient land use stacking a house, office, or studio over car parking, workshop, or storage. 

Connecting the Great Room to Kitchen make it a dramatic open space.
Connecting views from the Living Area to the Dining Area, and to the Kitchen
provides flow and makes it one dramatic open space.

House Hack

This is a great house hack. Adding a carriage house to an existing property generates income as a rental. It maximizes the property value. For homeowners, flippers, and real estate investors it adds value and gives options to take advantage of your property portfolio. 

  1. As a wonderful primary residence, it gains equity,
  2. As a rental, it provides income and pays off the mortgage, 
  3. As a flip, it provides an immediate return on investment, or
  4. As capital, to reinvest in future projects.
