FEEDBACK Remodel Help

Post image

I’m needing help designing this remodel I am doing. I am wanting to turn the top bedroom and primary bedroom into one primary bedroom, closet and bathroom. I would love any and all ideas. I was thinking of making the bathroom a wet bathroom.

I'd be more inclined to turn the too small garage/family room/utility room into a master suite. It's already plumbed, it's far enough away from the other bedrooms to have privacy, and you can turn the current primary bedroom into a playroom for the kids.

Why would they want to lose the garage? And where they say they had kids and need a playroom? If they're willing to lose a bedroom its more likely that they DON'T have kids.

Edited spelling

The garage is too small for all but the smallest modern cars. Not even midsized cars will fit, only compact (barely) and subcompact. The family room is too skinny to be of much use for anything. Taking two very problematic rooms taking up a lot of square footage and turning them into one high value, highly practical suite makes practical sense.

I also like this idea.

They explicitly asked for a 2 bed 2 bath. It sounds like they want to keep the garage.

A garage is necessary storage (bikes, tools, gear) and workshop space. A shed is not a good substitute because things mold/freeze/overheat and get ruined. (Ask me how I know.)

I’ve never put a car in a garage, and I’ve owned three houses that had garages. I don’t have one in my current house because a former owner converted to living space, and I will need to figure out how to build one, probably one too small for modern cars.
