New Garage for Neophytes

By Frediruk Reblerup

Not having enough space seems to be a problem that plagues a lot of people. After all, renting an apartment in a city or buying your own lot in the suburb can be quite draining to the pocket even if you have a stable job to rely on. This is why urban planners and interior designers are making a tidy profit. They are experts in creatively maximizing the space given to them.

However, if you are neither of the two, fret not. You can still use your creative juices to look for space. If you need a new garage, assess your living space if it's a feasible option.

Compared to the rest of the rooms in the house, a garage does not cost that much to build. This is an essential point to consider when you are worrying about your limited budget. If you try to lower down cost, the end result will not be pleasing to look at. It will also reduce the comfortable lifestyle that you may experience. Now, if you have decided to go ahead with your plan and build a garage to accommodate your trusty automobile, this article will help you create something extraordinary and affordable at the same time.

The first decision you have to make is to choose between the attached and detached type of garage. If it boggles your mind to hear these words, here is the explanation. An attached type of garage is simply one that is built alongside or in conjunction with the house. Its main convenience is that it provides protection during both extremes of temperature, during the chilly winter season and during the hot summer season. However, it is quite sad to note that choosing this type will greatly limit the design probabilities of your house.

Should you go the opposite direction and select detached garages, you will be amazed by the wide array of benefits being offered. The first is that detached garages can minimize, sometimes even eliminate, the ugly-looking garage-dominated facade of a house. This is the main beef of architects, interior designers and even many ordinary homeowners because it is not visually pleasing. A detached garage will also be set back from the abode, making your house truly stand out. Furthermore, if your house is separated from the garage, you will have an additional space that could be used for a nice kitchen garden or a comfy patio. Building a landscaped walk is also another great perk of a detached garage. You can still enjoy the sights from your parking area to the house.

When it comes to the garage layout, you need not give in to the usual style wherein you have to pass through a series of rooms and hallways that resembles a labyrinth. You may opt to bypass the mini-tour of the restroom as well as the laundry room if you instead build a cozy mudroom with an ample storage area that is filled with couches or chairs. This option definitely sounds a whole lot better.

For those who own numerous automobiles, multi-car garages doesn't exactly pose as a big problem nowadays. What is important is that your architect is informed ahead of time so that he can work in collaboration with the engineer and contractor assigned to your house.

Last but not the least; you must take into account the building of stairs in the garage plan if you are planning to rent out the upper floor to interested parties. Not only will you be maximizing your space, you will also be earning an extra income to supplement your needs. - 21396
