Unexpectedly, inside the old garage was a beautiful little house.
When thinking about a warehouse or a garage, most people think of it as a dark, damp, and musty place. But this 41 square meter house is different.
French photographer Jeremy Buchholz didn’t have the money to buy an apartment in Bordeaux, so he decided to buy an abandoned garage and turn it into a great hideaway. This old garage has a big corrugated iron door and inside is a messy, dirty room. So, Jeremy Buchholz called his friend architect Matthieu de Marien, who specializes in renovating shops, offices and other spaces into homes. The front of the garage was formerly a rusted white corrugated board and has now been replaced with a sturdy sliding wood panel. Stepping into the house, you will gasp in surprise. The living space is very cozy and beautifully decorated, different from the outside. To make the space feel larger, De Marien created a “home within a house”: a large piece of furniture that includes a small bathroom, bedroom, desk, wardrobe, chair sofa and storage. All space is designed in this large furniture box. The rest of the house is open plan with kitchen, dining area, living room and front yard. Indoor skylights both bring in more natural light and create a more open feel.
