One objective of this multi-phase project involved incorporating a portion of the existing garage into the living space of a historic home in Missoula’s University District. Removing walls and doors, and performing other limited modifications achieved a single level area designed to improved flow into the residence.  

Entry from the garage of the Deschamps Home now passes through a powder room and laundry, followed by a foyer with built-in cabinetry leading to a an enlarged kitchen and nook. The dramatic colors of the kitchen cabinetry add contrast with the bead-board ceiling and tile floor, and opens to a plush and relaxing entertainment area, which was originally the library.
