good habit: studios

Good Habit is 11 brand-new studios in the shell of what was once a mid-century motel. While not losing sight of the clean lines and optimism of the 1950s, it has been re-envisioned for individuals who care about the tiny details that lead to happiness. Located close to everything you need downtown, the university, and the Rattlesnake wilderness, it is the ideal space to launch your daily adventures without need of a car. While petite, each studio has been architecturally designed to make use of every inch, utilizing design inspiration from Japan, Europe, Vanlife, and even the living quarters on ships.

The studios are essentially fully-furnished with maple built-ins including: custom bed with storage underneath; a living wall with pantry and closet; a media wall with interchangeable storage/display cubes; a fold-out desk; a kitchen nook with sink, hotplate, microwave, and fridge; overhead cabinetry; and integrated bathroom vanity. They each have a small porch for ruminating on and although you will have solitude and quiet when you close your door, you will be part of a micro-community integrated into one of Missoula’s oldest and grandest neighborhoods.
