WEST SEATTLE DETACHED GARAGE SECOND STORY DADU ADDITION

This West Seattle detached garage was transformed with a second‑story addition to create a two‑bedroom detached accessory dwelling unit (DADU) above the existing parking below. The design maximizes the site’s potential by adding functional living space while preserving the original garage footprint. Construction was completed in January 2024.

Design Features

• Conversion of an existing detached garage into a two‑story DADU
• Retains garage parking on the ground level
• Efficient two‑bedroom apartment layout above
• Open‑plan living, kitchen, and dining area
• Thoughtful window placement to bring in natural light
• Exterior design that complements the existing neighborhood character
