Hello, I have reviewed your project and would be happy to help design a traditional-style garage apartment above your existing three-car garage that functions comfortably as a guest house. I have over 10 years of experience working on residential additions, garage apartments, and guest house conversions, including projects that require careful integration with the existing structure and architectural style of the home. My experience includes space planning, structural coordination, traditional exterior detailing, and preparation of permit-ready drawings. This project requires expertise in residential architectural design, structural evaluation of the existing garage, stair and access planning, kitchenette and bathroom layout design, and coordination with local building code requirements. I can develop a functional layout that includes a comfortable bedroom, full bathroom, and efficient kitchenette while maintaining a cohesive traditional appearance. I would like to understand your requirements through a detailed discussion, including the existing garage structure, desired square footage, exterior style preferences, and local permitting requirements. Please feel free to contact me at any time. Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to working with you on this project. Best regards, Maksim
