An integral garage that became a proper home office

The situation before

A couple both working from home on an MK estate, sharing the kitchen table and tripping over each other on calls.

What triggered it

“I just wanted someone to take it off my plate. We didn't even know if the garage could be warm enough.”

How we challenged the brief

They assumed they needed planning permission and a long process. We confirmed it was permitted development and checked the estate covenants — clearing the way in days, not months.

The design solution

The integral garage was insulated, damp-proofed and fitted with a new window and proper heating, creating two quiet desk spaces with built-in storage.

4 weeks

From a cold storage space to a warm, working office in about four weeks on site — no planning application needed.

Our only job was to open the door and pay the invoices, just like they promised.
