Garage Enhancement – McMahons Point

The client wanted the garage enhanced to be able to fully utilise the space available and integrate the space with the backyard and entertainment area of the house. By adding a custom built sliding wood panel door and recreating the roof paneling, a few other adjustments and now the space is more than just a home for the car. It is the drinks room for parties, a nice opening from the back street into the house and a better lit, more open space for use beyond just a garage.

For the inside, clever use of transparent and opaque roof panels creates a natural sense of light and openness, whilst the timber panels and solid timber sliding door, custom built, gives the garage a sense of being a natural extension of the house, rather than a spot to keep the car.

To give a sense of tranquility in the back garden, where the back of the home leads openly to the garden and private entertainment area, we created a segue to the garage of wood paneling and rendered brickwork.

With natural gumtrees and timber paneling both front and back, this garage has created a peaceful, functional and aesthetic space to return home to at the end of a long day. It livens up on the weekend for BBQs and parties.
