A cozy house in an old garage Bashny.Net

The owner of this house, located in Vancouver, Canada, built it in his backyard by the reconstruction of the old garage-workshop. Area home is 23, 2 square meters, and the external dimensions - 3, 6 x 7, 2 meters.





Right at the entrance there is a bathroom with a washing machine and dryer. Immediately behind him - room studio with a fully equipped kitchen, a living area with a sofa and a TV, and a double bed on a raised platform at the far end. The space under the bed and a ladder is used as a storage space. Housing well lit thanks to a window over the entire length of the room.



All was well for several years until someone from detractors did not report an unauthorized building the authorities. Usually in such cases, the owner is granted the right to legalize the construction, paying for permission and all kinds of fines, as well as to bring it into compliance with building and fire regulations.

But in this case it was impossible because of insufficient insulation of walls - which presently is only R14, although for new buildings in Canada it should not be less than R19, and the lack of fire sprinklers mandatory in Vancouver.
