Garage conversions are probably the most common of all domestic extensions. In most instances the design solution ranges from a simple match of the existing house to plain appalling. This solution is entirely different. The space created is an enhancement of the existing house which flows freely from the existing accommodation to the garden. This, combined with the clever use of materials, particularly the detailing of the door and screen, creates a garage conversion which breaks the boundaries.
