Types of Garage Conversion Projects
Single Car Garage Conversions
Single car garages are usually around 12x20 feet in size, which limits the space but still allows for a functional conversion. We focus on making the most of the area by planning efficient layouts that can become a guest room, home office, or small studio.
Our drawings highlight space-saving solutions and integration with the rest of the house. We ensure the conversion meets local building codes and maximizes natural light.
Double Car Garage Conversions
A double car garage usually measures about 20x20 feet or larger, giving us more room for flexible designs. This space can become a larger living area, such as a family room, extra bedroom, or rental unit.
We detail plans that often include a full bathroom, kitchen nook, and storage. Electrical and plumbing upgrades are more extensive due to the added features. Our architectural drawings focus on making smooth transitions between the garage and house. Structural modifications are sometimes needed, and we clearly outline those changes.
The benefit of a double car conversion is creating a more complete living space while maintaining energy efficiency and proper ventilation.
Detached Garage Projects
Detached garages present different challenges because they are separate from the main house. These conversions often turn the space into a guest suite, office, or workshop.
Our plans focus on adding necessary utilities, such as heating, cooling, and plumbing, since these are not typically connected to detached garages. We also address access improvements including pathways and external doors. Structural integrity is important here. We review foundation stability and roof condition, recommending updates as needed.
