All you need to know about Outbuilding Conversion Service

GBS Architectural

The
man shed is the butt of jokes but in reality, its a place for men to go
to escape to when there just isnt enough room in the house to get some
peace. GBS is a residential architectural designer company and is
frequently instructed to help design additional living space for
families this can be for any number of reasons. GBS has particular
specialist experience with loft conversions in south London.

Some
people might consider an extension or you could opt for another
structure in the garden other than a shed. There are some fabulous
shepherds huts and pods which can offer a workroom or home office away
from the hustle and bustle of the house. GBS can advise you on whether
or not you will need planning permission and if so, draw the
architectural plans for the project.

Another popular option which
can create more space offering potentially two or three rooms is a loft
conversion. Even a small loft conversion can create much more scope in a
house that is bursting at the seams. A long and extensive loft can
offer the potential for two or three new rooms and is cheaper than
building an extension onto the side or back of the house. Loft
conversions also dont routinely require planning permission although you
have to watch the style and dimension of some of the roof light windows
as these can contravene regulations.

A garage can offer good
conversion opportunities, generally, they are brick-built and attached
to the house. A garage is not classified as an outbuilding if it is
attached to the main house, if it is a totally separate structure like a
shed or log cabin then it is deemed to be an outbuilding. This
classification can make a difference when it comes to planning
regulations.
