Project Overview
The project involves the construction of a first-floor extension over an existing garage to create a high-quality master bedroom suite. The design will incorporate a mezzanine-level sleeping or relaxation area, an en-suite bathroom, and apex glazing to maximise natural light and enhance the sense of space. The extension is intended to integrate seamlessly with the existing dwelling in terms of scale, materials, and architectural character.
Objectives
- To create a spacious and light-filled master bedroom suite
- To utilise the existing garage footprint efficiently
- To introduce a mezzanine level for added functionality and architectural interest
- To incorporate apex glazing for enhanced daylight, views, and visual impact
- To provide a private en-suite bathroom with modern fittings
- To improve overall property value and living quality
The Solution
The solution delivers a contemporary master bedroom suite by extending vertically over the existing garage, maximising usable space while minimising impact on the site footprint.
- The extension is positioned directly above the existing garage to make efficient use of the current structure and avoid loss of garden space.
- The new extension is designed as a double-height space, creating a sense of openness and luxury within the master bedroom.
- A mezzanine floor is incorporated within this extension, providing a flexible area that can be used for relaxation and hobbys.
- The main bedroom occupies the upper level, benefitting from increased ceiling height and views.
- The mezzanine is accessed via a compact staircase, maintaining usable floor space below.
The Result
The completed extension successfully transforms the space above the existing garage into a bright, contemporary master bedroom suite that enhances both the functionality and overall value of the property.
The installation of full-height apex glazing acts as a key architectural feature, allowing natural light into the space.
Overall, the extension delivers a high-quality, light-filled master suite that makes effective use of the existing garage structure, avoids additional ground-level development, and results in a modern, functional, and visually striking addition to the home.
