Give a painfully narrow kitchen room to work, while keeping the garden living room and its fireplace. A garage conversion makes space for a new kitchen, generous dining room and separate utility.
A personal walkthrough of the ideas, the ground-floor changes and how the spaces work together.
Keep the entrance at the garage end and the living room on the garden. Change how the spaces between them work.
Before The existing kitchen is a long strip just 1.50 m wide. The small garage occupies valuable space beside the entrance.
After Convert most of the garage into an 11.20 m² kitchen, with a side door and window. Keep a 4.87 m² store at the street end for bikes, bins and everyday storage.
After Bring the former kitchen strip into a 20.35 m² dining room. Retain its garden-end section as a separate 5.19 m² utility, making use of the existing service location. Replan the entrance hall with a separate 2.24 m² WC.
After Double doors connect the larger dining room to the living room and its garden-facing bay. The fireplace and dividing wall remain, keeping this room a distinct place to relax.
Scope The supplied ground floor is reconstructed in detail. The upper storey, roofs and neighbouring properties are indicative context interpreted from the source photographs, not a measured survey.
Select a plan to enlarge it. Plans and views illustrate the design; dimensions are approximate.
Rotate the house, reveal the ground floor or compare the two layouts side by side.
