Amazing transformation to create a kitchen/dining/family room connected to the garden, a utility cupboard and a shower room, whilst retaining nearly half the garage for storage.

My clients new build 3 bedroom townhouse in Portobello had a separate kitchen and living/dining room, on a different floor to their garden. The only access to the garden was via a bedroom! The house didn’t suit the way they wanted to live as a family.

This imaginative and cost effective garage conversion relocates the kitchen to the ground floor. The existing kitchen units are reused to save money and wastage, with just a few more units added to create a sociable island. The existing corner sofa is positioned in a new alcove. The dining table looks out to the garden and has room to extend for larger parties. There is a spacious  shower room accessible from the hall. The washing machine is located in a utility cupboard to reduce the noise in the kitchen/dining/family room. A good sized garage is retained for storage, which also minimises the cost of new external walls or windows.
