  • Had the call with Architect - went well and at this point excited.

    The plan at this point would remove the garage and turn this into extra living space, that would double as an additional bedroom with en-suite. Does anyone see this as a terrible idea? There is parking in front of the house and about 20m down the road is on street permit parking.
    It's mostly a re-config rather than extension but should make all the space more usable and tbh this is more important to us than a bigger house. Maybe I'll make a current project of it...

    This 100%.

    Make space and entrance for eCargo bike (if no side access etc).

  • Good to hear! And yeah, Amey actually talking sense for once with a bike entrance...

  • I've been looking for places with garages for that same purpose, more as an extra bike/study/away from the kids space rather than an additional bedroom, if we have another child. Also looking at places with garden studios and or a large enough garden to put a studio in, for the same reason.
    Garage offers as @amey states more ways to get cargo bike/ or just ordinary bikes in and out without traipsing through the house.

    I think we'll get another car but on street permit parking is a fine alternative and extra home space is more valuable to me than a house for a car..
