Check out a few purposes for building a guest house on your property.
Years ago, it was incredibly difficult to obtain a permit to add a guest house or convert your garage into a studio. Thanks to a new state law, California is now issuing homeowners permits to build accessory dwelling units (better known as guest houses, back houses, cottages, granny flats, secondary dwellings, in-law units, and garage conversions) and homeowners all over the state are rejoicing.
Many homeowners are looking to add a guest house to their home for a multitude of reasons. From modern to traditional designs, to farmhouse and cottage styles, get inspired by these guest house ideas!
- Two car garage converted into a guest house
- California farmhouse style guest house with wooden exterior
- Craftsman vintage garage converted into a guest house
- Mediterranean style guest house by the pool
- Lake guest house space – with full-length glass windows to reflect the water!
- Modern guest house with sliding doors, stonework, and downward lighting
- Design studio for artists
- Open concept floor plan for a modern feel
- Space for family members, making the guest house wheelchair accessible
- Add luscious shrubbery around the wooden exterior to create a tropical island style guest house
