Adding a detached office/bedroom in Oakland
Floor plans for a new detached office/bedroom and remodeled bathroom
Kim and Jason, the owners of a gorgeous Japanese-style house in Oakland, loved their home but needed some additional space. They wanted to build a detached office/studio that could also be used as a guest room. They also wanted to remodel part of the main home. The existing office would become a bedroom, and the existing half bath/laundry would be upgraded to include a shower. One of their requirements: preserve the property’s beautiful trees and tea house.
A New Avenue design professional worked with the homeowners to develop plans for the new office and remodel.
The new space makes it possible for the family to stay in the house and neighborhood they love while adding more usable space to their home.
How to add a detached guest room or office to your existing home
With over 750 projects, we’ve learned that most older homes need four major changes to bring them up to date:
A new owner’s retreat with an updated bedroom and bathroom
An open kitchen/living area
Whole-house sustainability upgrades for personal health, cost savings, and environmental sustainability
An accessory dwelling to rent out or use for family
