Martin Brown came up with a clever way to assist his mother-in-law, who wanted to move closer to her infant

grandson, by drawing inspiration from his home state of Oregon, the center of the tiny house movement.

Brown and his wife, who were raising Sebastien for the first time, were grateful to have some assistance, but granny lacked the funds to relocate or get a home of her own.

Even though it initially appeared to be a major issue, Martin, who is quite creative, came up with a strategy to reunite the family.

Read on to learn what Brown did to make his mother-in-law more accessible to his house!

Martin Brown believed it was the ideal location to start a family when he relocated to a lovely house in Mount Tabor, Oregon.

The family was set to expand after welcoming son Sebastien, as his mother-in-law was moving in to be nearer to her new grandchild.

But he discovered a technique to move her outside rather than within.

The region served as inspiration for the new father because it is well renowned as a hub for tiny house designers, builders, and residents.

The property’s detached garage, which was now solely used to store outdated stuff, would be the ideal location for a little house.

Prior to beginning work on the Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU), Brown planned the reconstruction of the 1920s building for more than a year in order to preserve historical features.

On a family residential site, an ADU is a separate, compact housing unit that may be next to or adjacent to the main house.

Brown developed a stunning tiny apartment for his mother-in-law by carrying out his architectural plans until 2007.

It has an industrial but homey appearance thanks to the garage’s resilient concrete flooring that was left in place.

Brown purposefully chose not to install windows on the walls of the small house because he wanted to give his mother-in-law some seclusion

from the larger house and the neighbors. Instead, the house has skylights and big glass double doors that let natural light stream into the room.

The woman may live freely in the small house, which is close enough for her to visit whenever she wants and is surrounded by planters and a path.

The 440 square foot home took six months to construct and cost $73,000.

Brown put a couch bed inside that may be used as a bed for visitors or as a cozy lounge near to the fire.

The grandma can also take a short distance to the loft bedroom, which has a queen-sized bed and a reading area, after a long day of following after Sebastien.

She can cook and clean as she pleases in the kitchen, which has a full-sized fridge, two stove burners, and a single sink.

The house has hanging racks for pots, pans, plates, and other goods in addition to lots of easily accessible shelf space despite the absence of cupboards.

Grandma won’t have to use the bathroom in the main house because there is a single bathroom there.

Years later, parents and grandparents all across the world are still talking a lot about his amazing build.

‘I reside in the UK. In my back garden, I turned my garage into a one-story house for my mother. She’s been there for five years and is

still enjoying life at the age of 93,’ one person writes, while another adds, “Living apart is also a positive thing.

They are accustomed to living their own lifestyles and doing the things they enjoy and are accustomed to.

A third person says, ‘I too, if I were still able, would prefer to have my own space, up and about.’

Similar action was taken by a netizen, who remarks on their converted garage: “We put on to our detached garage for my mum. many areas.

We plan to live there if one of our children wants the home we currently live in, or we can ‘rent it’

out to them later if they get married and want to save money or test the waters of independence.

Another online commenter speculated that Brown’s suggestion might have an impact on housing in the future.

‘For double-wide lots, this could make a big difference for future housing availability’ the author adds.
