SMITH ACCESSORY STRUCTURE
Sandy, Oregon | Garage/Shop | Ground Up
A two-story garage and shop designed to match an existing rural home—without defaulting to a generic metal building. The goal was simple: make it feel like it belongs, while still working hard.
This building handles RV storage, vehicle bays, and a workshop below, with a lofted upper level designed to be ADU-ready down the road. From the beginning, it was planned in phases so the clients could build what they needed now without overcommitting upfront.
Key moves:
-
Designed to match the existing house without copy-paste “fake farmhouse” energy
-
Phased approach: structure first, systems and interiors later
-
Upper level structured for future ADU conversion
-
Durable materials that can actually take shop use (not just look good in photos)
It’s a working building—but it still feels intentional.
