When multiple schemes to enlarge the existing ranch house on this parcel exceeded the project budget, this frugal scheme for a  new outbuilding showed promise. 
 

Cantilevers on opposing end-walls create a 30x24 second floor studio suite above a 22x24 garage.

Entry, service spaces, and a napping nook tuck under the shed roof’s low side, and the studio proper  fills the high side.
