Granite Guest House

“Over the garage” dwelling frames the family swimming pool and shelters the backyard from the adjacent neighbor. Limited by lot coverage and limited accessory dwelling size, this efficient floor plan creates a public living/cooking area that occasionally serves as the pool house. Window placement towards the main house and driveway create opportunities for grandparents to monitor and communicate with the family if they so choose. Otherwise, placement of the sleeping area on the opposite side and the buffer of the internal stairway to the garage below buffers the in-laws and guests from family activities.
