Casanova Comstock Garage ADU Conversion

At just 250 square feet, the conversion required disciplined planning and architectural restraint. A new front porch transforms the former garage into an engaging street-facing element while preserving sightlines to distant ocean views.
The result is a small but highly effective intervention that preserves historic character while significantly increasing utility and long-term value.
