01VILLA EXTENSIONS
Many villa garages hold storage rather than cars. Converting one into a gym, office, playroom or guest room adds a whole room without extending the footprint — but the space needs real work to become comfortable.

Tell us the garage size and what you want it to become. We match you with contractors who handle conversions.
Discuss a garage conversionOr message us on WhatsAppGarages are usually uninsulated, with a lower floor than the house and a large door facing the street. Conversion typically means raising and damp-proofing the floor, insulating walls and ceiling, replacing the garage door with a wall and window, and adding lighting, sockets and air conditioning.
Replacing the garage door changes the villa's front elevation, which most communities control. Approval is usually needed, and the new wall and window are designed to match the facade. Some communities also have parking requirements to consider.
A gym needs a robust floor and good ventilation; an office needs data and acoustic comfort; a guest room may need a shower room, which depends on drainage. Deciding the use first shapes every other decision.
