Garage conversions
The conversion of underused garages into habitable rooms, from studies and bedrooms to studios.
The conversion of underused garages into habitable rooms, from studies and bedrooms to studios.
A garage conversion brings an underused part of the house into daily use as a study, bedroom, workspace or studio.
The studio considers how the new room connects to the house, how daylight is introduced and how the street elevation is resolved once the garage door is removed. Insulation, ventilation and floor levels are designed so that the room performs as a habitable space.
Many garage conversions fall within permitted development, although conditions on some estates remove these rights, and conservation areas and listed buildings impose further controls. Building Regulations approval is required in every case.
Design, Building Regulations submission and coordination with the contractor are managed by the studio through to completion.
