Almondsbury, Bristol.

Two / Double storey over-garage extension -  architectural design drawings, planning permission submission, structural engineering calculations/steel reports.

The existing home had a large double garage... the third garage having been converted to a sitting room years before. This sitting room was narrow, poorly insulated and did not provide a comfortable living space for the home-owners....
they rarely used this room.

Extension design drawings were submitted for planning permission and with minor modifications in consultation with the planners, the extension designs were approved.

The floor space occupied by the former double-garage and sitting room has been divided in half to result in a spacious sitting room with large window to the front, and a double garage served by a single door. Over the sitting room, a large master bedroom has been created.

The construction of the sitting room can be seen here, prior to the opening being created in the wall to the left. Once the room is water-tight and with French doors fitted opening onto the rear garden, the 'knock-through' creates the access from the main house.

As with all extension design drawings, careful consideration is given to the position of doors and windows. The photo on the left shows the bedroom at first floor nearing completion, with roof timbers exposed prior to fixing of electrics, insulation and plasterboard. The access from the first floor landing can be seen in the right-hand photo... this demonstrates how accurate extension design drawings have to be... the door is perfectly positioned... critical, since the roof slopes down reducing the headroom.

The sloping roof has resulted in an attractive feature of the room, with a small window for additional light and ventilation.... the home-owners love the end result !
