Why use a firm of technologists?

Using a firm of technologists to expand a garage is a strategic choice that guarantees a project that complies with current standards and is perfectly integrated into the existing structure. Unlike a simple builder, the architectural technologist designs a detailed and optimized plan according to the client's needs. He takes into account the structure of the building, the aesthetics of the house and the constraints of the land to ensure a result that is both functional and harmonious.

Project description: Adding a floor to the garage

For this project, our client wanted to expand his garage by adding a floor to maximize the available space. Located on the side of the house, the garage attached to the main structure only had a simple parking space. The goal was therefore to integrate a second level to create an additional room, while respecting the architectural style of the house. Adding a floor to a garage requires a careful study of the existing structure. Our technologists analyzed the strength of the foundations and load-bearing walls to ensure the feasibility of the project. To guarantee the stability of the new space, a glued laminated timber frame was chosen, allowing for a robust and lightweight construction. This technical choice also facilitated the integration of high-performance insulation and exterior cladding that matched that of the house.

Interior design and space optimization

The layout of the new floor was designed to optimize every available square meter. A separate entrance was added to allow direct access without going through the house. Inside, the main room benefits from a generous ceiling height, ideal for a recreation room, an office or even a spare bedroom. Large windows were installed to provide optimal natural light and avoid any feeling of confinement. The aesthetics of the project were carefully studied to integrate perfectly with the architectural style of the existing house. The natural wood cladding used for the exterior cladding gives a warm and modern touch, while the sloping roof respects the general harmony of the residence. In addition, the materials chosen guarantee excellent durability and require little maintenance, a considerable asset for the owners. In addition to improving the living space, extending a garage with a floor brings real added value to the property. This additional development can be used in multiple ways: home office, independent studio or additional storage space. This type of extension is therefore a strategic investment, both for daily comfort and for the enhancement of the property.
