Wine Country Retreat

Location: Hillsboro, OR

Over-the-garage ADU in wine country.

While building their new home, the homeowners saw the framing of the garage and thought they could do something with this unused space. The over-the-garage ADU in Oregon’s wine country serves as a retreat for a large extended family and eventually as an income-generating rental close to nearby vineyards. The small space packs a lot of punch. The cozy retreat is a great escape for guests to take in the views and features a guest bedroom, full bathroom, family room, dining, and kitchen.
