Garage to Office

In 2023, after 15 years in business, we bought out our partners and embraced a fresh chapter, shaping CenterBeam Construction into something truly our own. After a challenging time, we wanted a special, quiet space where our team could relax, think creatively, and work without distractions. With high rents everywhere in 2024, we decided to transform an unused 1,000 sq. ft. garage we already owned into something magical.

The vision was twofold: create a functional office for our team to meet, plan, and strategize now, and design it as a 2-bedroom, 1-bath apartment for future use once we move into a larger space. The transformation was no small task. We started by clearing out storage and ripping out old paneling. We carefully planned plumbing for the kitchen and bathroom without damaging the intact concrete, and tackled air conditioning, tile flooring, paint, fixtures, and design details like windows and layouts.

As a construction company, these challenges were right up our alley, and the results speak for themselves. This once-overlooked garage is now a beautiful, functional office space—and a testament to thinking creatively about the future.
