difficult question: How can you best support aging family
members when you live in a city with minimal housing options?
Best Practice Architecture has offered a brilliant solution to
issues around multigenerational living and urban density with
their latest Seattle project.
The firm was hired by a Seattle homeowner to create Granny Pad:
A spacious living quarters converted from a backyard garage. The
residential addition was built to give the aging family member
a safe and well-designed home, bring childcare to the growing
family, and to maintain privacy for everyone involved.

571 square foot detached dwelling transformed from an existing
garage into a lofty, open living space.
