Garage Converted

Transformed this cluttered double garage into a well organised contemporary looking office space.I constructed a raised timber floor area to reduce any possible water damage that may occur from a flooded garage, since the house was on the low side of the street and had previously succumbed to water problems. I also waterproofed and sealed the front entrance to prevent any water from getting close to entering into the garage.

“Why not transform that cluttered garage or spare room into an office or rumpus room?”

The wall frames were constructed on site and the gyprock and cornice  were installed and finished off with plaster.

 

A floating timber floor was put down to add a hard durable surface but also to add warmth and character to the office space.
Several wall cupboards and desks were installed along with an air conditioner to help bring the whole area into a very comfortable, yet practical work area.

Bamboo sexiness

Transformed an old red brick garage wall into an exotic tropical hide away using beautiful bamboo.

                                                                                  The central feature is a classic carved framed mirror that is set off by some lovely Bonsai plants and evenly spaced lanterns that all help create that relaxed feel.

 
Once you look at the before and after, there is no comparison.
