The Exterior
Measuring 23′-3″ x 25′-8″, The Cooper is adorned with craftsman style details on the exterior, made evident on approach by the large, 4′ deep covered porch, sawn cedar shake siding, dual 6×6 posts and refined concrete finishing details. Large dual hung style windows with full sash are customary and the two 8′-0″ x 7′-0″ overhead garage doors are ample access the 400 sf of finished garage space. A second entrance to the garage is privately located on the back side of the garage while up above on the upper floor, windows are thoughtfully placed with privacy in mind.
The main roof line is a heavy gable style roof with 13:12 slope, transitioning to a lower slope over the covered porch below. The main gable roof line is complemented by dual shed dormers with 4:12 slopes covering nearly all of the upper floor but offering the most finished interior space inside the studio. Adding to the interior space is a small 4′ deep cantilevered roof deck with a french door and side lite offering lots of view and daylight.
The Interior
On the interior, you have a rough finished, acoustically & fire separated two-car garage with two parking stalls; on one side you have a minimum size parking stall of 16′ x 10′ and an oversize parking stall on the other measuring 22′ x 10′. Access to the garage comes from a dedicated garage entrance off the rear or through the two large overhead garage doors found on this detached two-car garage & carriage house. The Cooper Two-Car Garage & Carriage House has a dedicated carriage house entry features a small coat closet and 9ft ceilings before transitioning the upper floor studio with only 8′ ceilings.
As pass up the stairs, you immediately you land at the back of the small but open concept kitchen, island with sink and seating for two and a substantial open living room. Near the back is an open one-bedroom with lots of closet space opening to a three-piece bathroom with tub and stacked washer & dryer. Ceiling mounted heat and A/C mounted within the heated attic can be substituted to electric baseboard heating and HRV while on-demand hot water makes for a green alternative.

I’m super frustrated I bought this and city halll wont approve it for my Vancouver lot. What do I do now? I like the design, but it’s too big for my yard. Who knew it would be so hard to deal with city hall!!!!

I had this built in Surrey for a retirement home for my mom. I like having her close to me, but in her own space.
