Garage Annex Conversion

Garage Annex Conversion

Self Contained `Granny Annex`

Representing a significant redevelopment, this scheme converted an existing garage into a self-contained `Granny Annex`. The conversion included a Kitchen, Living Space, Bedroom and Bathroom with associated storage. To ensure the new development remained part of the existing dwelling, the living space seamlessly opens up onto the garden courtyard, creating a sense of `Inside / Outside`.

Conservation Area

The development's location within a Conservation area required the design to utilise Architectural features that were sympathetic to the existing building and that seamlessly integrated. The construction utilised traditional forms, materials and building techniques to ensure the support of the Conservation Officer and wider Planning Authority.

Creation of Space

While the conversion was undertaken to a modestly sized existing garage, the design was able to create a double height space within the living room with large conservation rooflights to create an open plan and `light filled` living space. The images below show how this space creates a sense of height, which makes this modest Annexe appear larger than initially perceived from the outside.
