Our Studio Part 1

I cannot even believe it’s finished but it’s official! Our home studio is DONE!!! When we bought our home in Oct 2020 with the intention of turning our 700 sqft carport into a studio/gym/office. In April 2024 we finally moved in! It now houses our office, Kevin’s Dad’s piano, our weight equipment, and my peloton bike and tread! It’s so beautiful!

Here’s our yoga studio inspo blog post. Our hope was to keep the vaulted ceilings, wrap our exposed truss, create a step up into the office to separate the two space, add a big sliding glass door, and TONS of cabinetry for storage.

It came with some challenges too! We needed to level the carport floor as they’re designed to slope and we need it nice and level for handstanding (see below). 

We want to add a shed space to the back side of the building for extra storage like our lawnmower and tools.

Heating and cooling a space efficiently with so much glass was also a big consideration.

We partnered with Mekena and Teri Herrera to bring this lofty dream into a reality! They helped us with the permitting process, design, sourcing everything we needed, supplied us with all of our subcontractors, and were basically available with any question or roadblock we encountered during the whole process. By not bringing on a general contractor it saved us loads of money! 

We absently LOVE our new space! Next up is to move everything in! Stay tuned!
