Garage conversion, Gosport
A double garage became a guest annexe, with the workshop kept.
As the need to host visiting family grew, the homeowners wanted a practical solution offering privacy and comfort for guests, while keeping part of the space as a functional workshop.
Convert the existing double garage into a comfortable additional bedroom with access from the house, retaining a small workshop and storage area with its own stable-door entrance, all in keeping with the character of the property.
The solution
- 01
The conversion connected the new accommodation to the existing house without major structural changes.
- 02
The former garage now provides a well-appointed bedroom alongside the separate workshop and storage area.
- 03
The result is a substantial increase in usable living space achieved entirely within the existing footprint.
The outcome
A significant increase in living space with no change to the building's footprint. The self-contained annexe adds convenience, utility, and value to the whole property.

“We are extremely pleased with the service we received from Rachel at Solent Architecture. She was so helpful throughout the project and was always available when we or our builder needed to make contact. We are delighted with the garage conversion and did not hesitate to recommend her to a friend who in turn recommended her to his neighbour. Rachel is very friendly and very professional and made some great suggestions that we had not considered but have proved to be ideal for us.”
