Project Location : yate, Bristol

Occupying an end-terrace position, this family home had an attached garage running the full depth of the home.

The homeowner wanted additional ground floor space. The solution was to convert the garage, resulting in a cloakroom/bathroom with shower,WC and basin, the convenience of a utility room and family room to the rear.

To enable a larger family room, the extension projects beyond the old rear wall of the garage, with a separate door into the garden.

Side elevation.

The old garage wall was not very attractive... finished in raw blockwork, with further issues being the maintenance of the flat roof.

The conversion resulted in a pitched roof, to match that of the main house.. providing a far more appealing and in-keeping addition to the home.

Front elevation.

The aging garage doors are now replaced with a conventional cavity wall, behind which is located the cloakroom/bathroom.

The pitched roof over the extension/conversion provides an greater amount of storage space than the garage it replaced.
