We recently designed and built a detached Carriage House structure featuring a two-car garage with a modern ADU Denver studio, designed as part of a new custom home project.

This 350 sq. ft. Studio ADU Denver highlights how thoughtful architecture can maximize small spaces. Whether you need housing for family, a private office, art studio, or rental unit, this ADU can adapt to your lifestyle. Depending on zoning, the garage area could even be converted into a spacious 750 sq. ft. ADU Cottage—perfect for a live-in nanny, caregiver, or tenant.
