Garage Conversion and Extension

Kempsford, Fairford

Conversion and extension of an existing garage, completely transforming the space, allowing a new visual connection between the existing kitchen and the garden and creating a bright and airy living and dining area. The elevation is clad with dark charred wood and the interior decorated in a contrasting clean and contemporary style by our clients. A continuous microcement floor ties the new spaces in to the existing, completing the look. As architects we love the end result which has completely changed the way our clients can enjoy and experience the property and its attractive gardens.

This project has dramatically improved our clients enjoyment of their garden, which was previously blocked off by the garage. The large picture window now provides beautiful views from the centre of the house towards the newly landscaped garden.
A continuous microcement floor is utilised in order to allow the new spaces to flow into the existing and create a feeling of openness and light.
Thoughtful landscaping designed by our clients helps the new extension to settle into it's surroundings.
The vaulted ceiling to the dining space gives a sense of drama, whilst large windows have been added to provide views to the adjacent fields.
The new living space provides a bright and open garden room to enjoy during the day, as well as a cosy spot to watch TV with family in the evening.
The floor plan layout illustrates that the physical changes to the building are relatively small, but through thoughtful design the improvement to the clients enjoyment of the property is significant.
