Inside Architect’s Three-Level Garage Conversion, New Zealand

Head to https://tidd.ly/4cAer8f to find out more about Bambu Lab and all the wonderful things you can create for your home. High on a Wellington, New Zealand ridgeline, architect Micah Rickards transformed a friend’s crumbling garage into a flexible, light-filled home for him and his partner Ivan. Organised vertically, the home spans three levels on a footprint of just 22sqm/237sqft. The ground floor doubles as Ivan’s hair salon, a guest room, and a flexible studio space, with curtains instead of walls. Above, a compact bedroom and bathroom are designed with efficiency in mind, including a laundry chute and a shower that doubles as a utility space. At the top, an open kitchen, living, and dining area featured integrated joinery, under-bench appliances, and a built-in daybed. A skylight draws winter sun deep into the home, while sliding doors connect to a small deck and bridge, linking the house directly to friends and neighbours. 00:00-00:55 Introduction 00:55-4:40 Location 4:40-06:07 Entrance 06:07-08:35 Ground Floor 08:35-09:51 Bathroom 09:51-11:40 Sleeping Area 11:40-13:55 Kitchen 13:55-15:32 Living Area 15:32-17:00 Outdoor Area 17:00-17:57 Conclusion To see more inside this small home https://www.nevertoosmall.com/post/architect-turned-an-old-garage-into-small-three-level-home #smallapartment #architecture #interiordesign How I Live Small Ep. 17 Architect and Owner: Micah Rickards https://www.micah.co.nz/ https://www.instagram.com/micah_architecture/ Produced by New Mac Video Agency Creator: Colin Chee Producer: Lindsay Barnard Director & Cinematographer: Nam Tran Editor: Sebby T Music: Artlist.io Liquid Eclipse by Kyle Preston Maps Without Names by Risian September by Dor Ben Lulu After by Red City Hero Envision by WOOLFSON wonderful - Instrumental version by dannyminus Roasted & Walakata by Lalinea Voice & Oak by Oak and Cherry Share your projects with us- https://www.nevertoosmall.com/submissions Subscribe to our newsletter- https://www.nevertoosmall.com/subscribe Check out our store- https://www.nts-store.com Website- https://www.nevertoosmall.com Instagram- https://www.instagram.com/nvtsmall Facebook- https://www.facebook.com/nvtsmall
