double garage conversions
Comments (8)Hi Catherine. Try speaking with Mike Neal - he solves all sorts of home office conversion issues. He does everything from conversions to building home office cabins from scratch, with a pile of timber and your ideas. His team turn up with a load of Oak and a few tools but at the end of the job you have a handcrafted staircase for example - pure genius! I am sure Mike could create a way of making the two sides match, even if it uses dot matrix printing to make them look identical from a distance. Let me know if you want his contact details.

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)In my old house I had a similar size lounge and kitchen. but felt lounge was too long which made it appear narrow and furniture restricted. I made lounge area smaller but more practical (gave me additional wall for another sofa) and then removed wall from kitchen to part I had taken from lounge to make this much bigger kitchen. Worked so much better for us. You could also then remove wall between dining room and kitchen to make this a large open space with no extensions needed, or just a smaller one off back of garage with door to garden to form a utility room. Hope this makes sense!...See Moreover garage extension & garage conversion
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 Morerinked
