Inside Updates

The new room can also still function as a garage thanks to a set of glass-paneled Dutch doors opening on the plywood-paneled office side. The spare, contemporary style -- the doors, simple exposed-wood framing, visible pipes, and industrial-style lighting -- kept costs down.

Design: John Jennings and Sasha Tarnopolsky, Dry Design, Los Angeles
