This Phinney Ridge garden room started as a run-down garage. Crescent Builds turned it into an inviting garden studio for a young family of three. They wanted a comfortable space to enjoy all year, but they also needed to keep the storage their garage once provided.

To bring in light, we added skylights and a large Nana-Wall corner unit. Together, they fill the room with daylight and connect it to the backyard. Meanwhile, simple cabinetry holds specific tools, so the space balances utility and design. We also polished the original concrete floors and chose curated, design-forward finishes. As a result, the studio blends function and style. It works for indoor-outdoor entertaining, a quiet afternoon alone, or a place for the whole family to spread out and play.

Phinney Ridge garden room with dark siding and folding glass doors opening to a stone patio

A double-corner NanaWall opens the studio wide to the garden, blurring the line between inside and out. As a result, the room works in every season and feels as easy and open as a pavilion.
