French architect firm Fabre de Marien transformed a double car garage in Bordeaux, France into a 441 square foot modern small house. The conversion features floor-to-ceiling glass doors, wood exterior cladding, a sloped ceiling that rises toward the rear, and a sleeping loft with skylight. The design maximizes natural light through the glass front while maintaining privacy from neighbors.
