Just outside of Auckland, interior designer Karin Montgomery has transformed an above garage storage space into a bright home for a two. Maintaining the original 36sqm footprint, and still allowing full use of the double garage beneath it, Karin recessed the homes storage into the edge of the pitched roof. Carefully selected materials contribute to the homes light palette, complimented with the addition of more windows and contrasting charcoal stairs.

Purpose built joinery forms central storage for the home, dividing living, sleeping and bathroom without the need for additional walls and doors, maintaining the homes open spaces and it's quiet, peaceful feel.
