JOHN CHILDS ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN

Outbuilding, Garage or Annexe

Adding a new outbuilding, garage, or annexe is an ideal way to create functional space on your property that adds value, style, and versatility. Through creative and efficient design, I can help you transform unused outdoor areas into attractive extensions of your home.
 
In developing proposals for your new outbuilding, garage, or annexe, I will create a space that works seamlessly for you, maximizing natural light, ventilation, and utility.
 
Make Use of Your Outdoor Space
 
An outbuilding, garage, or annexe can provide one or more valuable rooms for your property, whether it’s a dedicated workspace, hobby room, guest suite, or even a self-contained living space. Adding an outbuilding may not require planning approval, though some exterior features—like added windows, doors, or a second story—could need local authority consent.
 
With the right design, planning, and implementation, these new spaces can be well-insulated, secure, and comfortable year-round, greatly enhancing your home’s living capacity.
 
Addressing Technical Considerations
 
Building an outbuilding, garage, or annex involves important structural and insulation requirements. I will ensure your new space is solidly constructed, compliant with local building standards, and equipped with proper insulation and ventilation. If needed, damp-proofing and drainage solutions will be incorporated to keep the space dry and comfortable in all weather conditions.
 
Creation of Separate Accommodation
 
If you’re interested in designing a self-contained flat in your new annexe or outbuilding, planning permission may be required. I can assist you with pre-application consultations, manage the planning application process, and ensure building regulation compliance to bring this vision to life.
