Storage Unit Renovation in Tiny Architecture

This is an amazing conversion of a 350 square foot (32.5m²) Storage Unit that is estimated to date back to the 1890s and located in Washington DC, 2 miles for the White House.  It is a wonderful highlight reel of a small renovation, as posted on imgur, with photographs and a brief description of each stage.  We have included all of the stages including a GIF Animation of the finished project from different angles, interior and exterior, at the bottom of the post.
