Delivering a Special Space For a Special Football League Commissioner

Legendary artist Snoop Dogg has spent nearly two decades giving back to the Compton, California, community. His Snoop Youth Football League has transformed the lives of area families, but he credits his league commissioner, who he nicknamed Commish, for bringing his vision to life. His dedication to the league is what helped the program succeed. "Commish took the football league to a whole new level. He’s graced so many kids and families and serves as a family figure to many,” praised Snoop Dogg. “It’s time he gets what he deserves. We share a vision for this community and know that [the league] has helped families to bond."

Creativity Flourishes When the Property Brothers Partner with Snoop Dogg

To give back to his valued business partner, Snoop partners with Property Brothers Jonathan and Drew Scott. Together, they will transform Commish’s detached garage into a multi-purpose office and entertaining space that can be used for meetings with families of players and program sponsors. “He inspires a lot of people, so I wanted to give him something that he can be inspired by.”

The Garage Exterior, Before

A detached garage in the backyard of Commish’s home was under-utilized. Snoop proposed that it would be the perfect dedicated space for a new office and a lounge for entertaining.

To call this a makeover would be an understatement. Not only did the designers install new thermally modified wood siding and a black-framed entrance, but they also made substantial improvements to reinforce the structure. New underpinnings bolster the existing foundation and extra steel supports make the walls substantial, habitable and safe. The designers also needed to factor in utility infrastructure from the street to accommodate electrical and plumbing in the new office.

The Patio, Before

The yard to the side of the detached garage was an unused space. In fact, with the amount of foot traffic in the backyard, you might say that it’s seen better days. To maximize entertaining potential, Snoop shared his vision for the space.

Overgrown landscaping and tattered grass were removed from the side yard. In place, new porcelain pavers alternate in a white and gray pattern to breathe new life into the property. Envisioned as a space for entertaining, the bros also installed an outdoor BBQ and a fire pit with chairs. They also added bar seating near the new awning window to marry the indoors and the outdoors.

Commish Gets to See His New Space

Snoop’s dreams came to life when Commish was able to enter his new office and entertainment space during the big reveal. Large black framed doors were installed on two sides of the building to make it welcoming and accessible. Intended to serve as a multi-purpose space, the entire design team was excited to show him what had transpired indoors.

The Kitchen, Before

The detached garage was a blank slate with a traditional garage door and exposed beams. To make it one-of-a-kind, Snoop encouraged the designers to pull out all the stops. Together, they removed the existing doors, unnecessary walls and added new functionality that would allow the space to transform to Snoop-level luxury.

The Kitchen, After

A state-of-the-art open concept kitchen transforms Commish’s former garage. The new space incorporates undercounter mini fridges, porcelain countertops that incorporate induction cooktop technology and an awning window that helps transition the space into an indoor/outdoor environment. Accessorized with memoribilia from his years coaching and running Snoop's football league, this new kitchen is a one-of-a-kind venue for meetings and entertaining.

The Kitchen, Before

Commish had a quintessential two-car garage, but Snoop had a new plan for the space. The garage would be remodeled into a multi-purpose space including a state-of-the-art kitchen and a new living and dining area for added function. The interior would be fully finished and reinforced to make it a safe, livable extension of the home.

The Kitchen, After

Snoop knew that the former garage would get the most use as a multi-purpose space, so Drew and Jonathan incorporated extra media and technology into the porcelain countertops on the kitchen peninsula. The new countertop opens to reveal a 60-inch television screen on a 360-degree swivel that makes it possible for Commish to cook in his outdoor kitchen or entertain inside on the sectional while enjoying the big game.

The Multi-Purpose Office Space, Before

Only creative visionaries like Snoop Dogg and the Property Brothers would see potential between the studs of this garage. With a vision to execute an executive office suite, they planned to transform this wall of the garage into banquette seating around a dining table that could easily double as Commish’s new work desk.

The Multi-Purpose Office Space, After

Formerly a blank wall, the new office table is multi-purpose. It doubles as a desk Commish can work at during the day and a dining table at dinnertime. Drew and Jonathan incorporated built-in banquette seating, luxurious chairs and accessories as well as player memorabilia into this high-end space. Successfully achieving a “board room” feel, Snoop was confident Commish would be able to take professional meetings in style.

The Lounge, Before

The old garage had one small enclosed room that Snoop believed to be a former darkroom for photography. To improve the overall floor plan and maximize the square footage, Snoop vowed to help the Brothers cut the wall apart and sledgehammer it to the ground.

The Lounge, After

In place of the dark room, new black-framed accordion-style doors transform the garage into a cohesive indoor-outdoor living space. Inside, the team leveled the concrete floors and refinished them to look like seamless stone. A large sectional couch offers a place for guests to congregate or a spot for Commish to kick back and work. Facing a new 60-inch television (that rises from the countertop), it’s one of the best seats in the house. The designers were also able to install a new three-piece bathroom with black-and-white marble tile and a shower.
