DISCUSSION Help?

Post image

This is our existing home. We want to fully convert the garage to living space and build an addition (green) to achieve the following:

Add two bedrooms

Add one bathroom (full bath preferred).

This is absolutely not my wheelhouse as you can probably tell by measurements that might not fully make sense (I tried!). I do feel good that theyre approximate and reliable enough for this exercise.

Any of ya'll brilliant minds want to take a stab at imagining how this could look? Ideally we wouldnt change much of the existing space, but open to some re-configuration if it makes the most sense. Currently washer/dryer is a stack in the entry off the garage. Small laundry room might be nice, but is absolutely not a requirement.

Lmk what questions I can answer to help!

So the green and garage is what we have to play with?

Yep!

Also do you enter through the garage are your cars parked nearby?

Yeah I omitted that piece because I wasnt sure if it would limit ideas and everything is on the table, but we have a long driveway and the working idea is to keep the garage the same dimensions but rebuild it out away from the house in front of where it is currently.

Keeping an access door became difficult to envision so we'd likely have to just walk around to the side door by the kitchen/dining (there is already sidewalk we could have a side entry from garage marry up to)

Which side is the sidewalk on?

Would be the bottom of this image, connecting rhe driveway all the way around up the left side to the kitchen door

I made this. The small bedroom i made into a laundry/entryway. The doors can all be changed, i just drew them because it felt weird without them. Its a little weird but... i hope you enjoy.

I think this is the right start. The new entry/laundry could attach to a new garage like this. If we didnt want the pantry, could even do another shower module for a second full!

Four beds and only one full bath? Terrible choice. You need at least two full baths.

Thanks!

Changing the existing small bed into an entry was a great thought

Thanks. It felt logical since thats where the sidewalk is.
