Comments (2)Extensions are a great way to tranform a house into more friendly living space. Bi-folding doors, a nice big dining table in the middle and some quirky scandi furniture look amazing in building extensions.

Comments (2)Hi, The extension over the garage should be relatively straightforward in terms of layout but you would have to apply for planning permission. You would also need a structural engineer to check that the existing structure of the garage is sufficiently strong, or could be strengthened to support the new first floor. The first-floor layout I have shown mirrors the top of the stairs so that there are another 2 steps so that the first floor is all the same level. this has to be a small landing at the top of the stairs so i have used this area as a new bathroom and then the front makes the 3rd bedroom significantly bigger. the existing bathroom could be turned into a decent-sized bedroom by taking some of the room from bedroom 2. At the ground floor, the shower could be removed to leave just a W/C and allow easy access from the kitchen to the utility. I would also block up the door in the kitchen to give more space for units and worktops and possibly enlarge the island. Please let me know what you think? And I wish you all the best with your project!! Phill...See More

6 years agoHi Cathrine,
I think this could be an elegant sliding door system with the framing the same colour as the other door. It would look simple and considered and would let plenty of natural light into space. Perhaps broken into three equal screens.
Worth speaking to building control might want a fire separation between the office and the garage section.
Hope this helps

6 years agothanks :) so would you keep one half with the roller garage door as it is now? or just have a sliding door for all of it, and you'd be able to see the car?
there is a wall inside that separates the two garages, with one half having a ceiling... was hoping we could have that as a mezzanine floor that goes across both garages. hope the pic helps explain!
