Modern life in big cities is creating much more than constant rush in a concrete jungle that seems unyielding. It also seems to create more and more smaller families where multi-generational living becomes impractical. But this contemporary residence in Maple Leaf neighborhood of Seattle takes an entirely different approach by turning the old garage in the backyard into an additional smaller home that serves as ?granny pad?. The idea not only brings different generations together but also creates a more harmonious lifestyle where parents of young children need not constantly worry about needing someone to take care of the little ones at home!Old garage turned into an independent tiny home in SeattleDesigned by Best Practice Architecture, the Granny Pad replaces the old garage with a new structure that is clad in black on the outside and has a white and wood influence indoors. Light floods every nook of the home thanks to the extensive use of windows and skylights that enliven the double-height living area. Wood on the walls and ceiling further accentuates the sense of inviting warmth with the bedroom looking into the garden outside. Neutral color palette coupled with pops of bright pink and orange drive away any sense of boredom.RELATED: Sensational Backyard Reading Retreat Offers a World of Serene EscapeDark exterior of the home with pink doorEntrance to the Granny Pad in SeattleBackyard tiny home designed for aging member of the familyWood and black interior of the tiny b...
