The brief

Garage Conversion into a Home Office

The project involves converting the existing garage to include a home office for both husband and wife, as they work from home, alongside a guest room and a small gym. The design integrates the garage with the main house through a glass-roofed sunroom, enhancing natural light and creating a seamless connection. Additionally, the main house will undergo refurbishment, with a particular focus on updating and modernizing the kitchen.

The challenges

Garage Conversion into a Home Office

The main challenge was creating a design style that met both clients’ preferences, balancing the aesthetics of the office/outbuilding with those of the new kitchen. Leveraging the expertise of our visualization team, we successfully presented the design outcomes in an innovative manner, earning the clients’ appreciation. On the practical side, managing the construction team proved challenging due to their lack of organization. However, through the effort of our project management team, we effectively navigated these obstacles and guided the project to successful completion.
