Smart Downsizing Solution: Multi-Purpose Timber Building Maximises Space in Guildford
When life changes, your property needs should evolve too. When they downsized from their family home to an adorable two-bedroom cottage in Guildford, a Surrey couple found out that they needed more room.
The Challenge: Making Small Spaces Work Harder.
After their kids grew up and moved out, this couple down-scaled into a cottage that better suited their lifestyle. But there was a major snag – I storage space shrank dramatically, and I had no desk, said our customer.
With the lack of space becoming an issue, they found that a timber building from Passmores that would meet their needs instead of accepting a compromise.
The Solution: A Multi-Functional Masterpiece.
We collaborated with our design team to develop a custom timber structure to help solve their lack of space. The custom build features.
Garage designed to accommodate a vehicle.
The building includes storage space attached to it.
A studio space that was converted was turned into a home garage workshop by the owners.
Design Excellence That Stands the Test of Time.
Over ten years ago a Passmores installation was fitted in Guildford that has stood the test of time. The building has period wooden windows (today we usually use customised PVC windows for better performance) and a natural slate roof that fits in with the existing cottage architecture.
The design was not only clever but also sensitive as it adhered to the strict council standards. Timber building by our team was ensured to harmonise the surrounding and be regulatory compliant.
Customisation Beyond Expectations.
Choose Passmores and the possibilities are endless, says this project. While we did the structural installation and roof installation, the clients did the interior transformation for the wooden flooring, insulation, decoration, etc. which made the entire structure reflect their taste and personality.
The result? A beautiful timber building that blends vehicle storage, workshop space, and flexible living space – just because you’re downsizing it doesn’t mean you can’t have all the mod cons!
