Garage conversions
Single Storey Rear Extension, Garage Conversion and internal alterations
This property had an existing Conservatory and multiple separate rooms at the rear of the house which meant that the spaces were disconnected and not ideal for day-to-day family life or for entertaining.
The proposed new layout at ground floor removes many of the internal walls to create an open-plan Kitchen, Living and Dining space which is well connected to the remainder of the property, overcoming the issue of the main Kitchen being separated from the Dining Room. We have also created a separate Office and Snug through the conversion of the Garage and a small lean-to extension to the side of the property.
The rear extension will still benefit from plenty of glazing and light, however, unlike the existing Conservatory the new space will be more efficient and not suffer from overheating in the Summer and being too cool in the Winter.
By retaining only one door into the Kitchen from the Hall this maximises the amount of wall units in the Kitchen and creates a walkway to the side of the Kitchen allowing the space for a large island.
Single Storey Rear Extension and Garage Conversion
The brief for this project was to create an open-plan Kitchen, Dining and Living space at the rear of the property with an additional separate Living space. In addition to this the brief included the conversion of the Garage to create a larger porch with W.C. and Utility.
Due to the constraints of the site we had to seek permission through two separate planning applications, one for the Garage conversion and a separate application for the rear extension; this allowed us to fulfil the entire brief whilst overcoming the restrictions of certain Planning Policy. The entire design includes plenty of windows and rooflights to ensure the spaces are bright and the whole property is proposed to be rendered to simplify the material palette and create a modern look.
Garage Conversion and new open-plan Living and Dining area
The existing Kitchen at this property was a small galley Kitchen with an L-shape Living and Dining space. The Garage was not being utilised so we proposed the conversion of the Garage into a Kitchen and the removal of the existing Kitchen to provide a large open-plan Living and Dining area with a separate larger Kitchen.
We obtained Planning Permission for the works as well as seeking Building Control Approval.
