From Cold Storage to Living Space
The transformation of an underused garage into a bright, fully integrated living area — complete with a new pitched roof and vaulted ceilings.
Unlocking Hidden Potential
What started as a cold, underused garage is now a bright, modern living space full of character. This project in Jarrow is a prime example of how homeowners can unlock the full potential of their property without the need for a costly extension footprint.
One of the standout features of this transformation was the new pitched tiled roof. By replacing the old flat roof, we were able to create internal ceiling height and install two Velux-style skylights. This instantly changed the feel of the room, making it feel more spacious, airy, and flooded with natural light.
Whether for a home office, a chill-out zone, or a family room, we ensured the conversion was fully integrated with the main house, matching the existing aesthetic while providing superior energy efficiency through upgraded insulation.

By building a new pitched roof, we created extra vertical space that makes the room feel significantly larger than a standard garage.
Strategic placement of roof windows reduced the need for artificial lighting and enhanced the energy efficiency of the home.
From first fix to final decoration, the client received a ready-to-use room with all building control sign-offs handled by us.
