The benefit of a room above garage is that you can create a space to house your cars while also gaining a workshop, games room, home office or spare room. However you choose to use your new oak frame build, a room over garage has the added advantage of gaining valuable extra space from a relatively small footprint.
Creating additional office space
The versatility this space can give is endless. At our offices in Herefordshire, we have used one of our standard ‘room above’ garages to create additional office space on both floors. Using habitable specifications, the structure exceeds building regulations and provides a comfortable atmosphere with minimal heating, even in the winter.
Creating additional living space
In the instance of our clients Tom and Sarah, they originally wanted an oak frame garage to house their 1965 vintage VW camper van (called Daisy) but took further advantage of the space by incorporating a room above to add extra living accommodation for their daughter to move into on return from university.

“ “Any parent with a child back from university will understand the value of having separate accommodation where their child can keep their independence when they return home for the holidays, which was the main reason for the project”. „ Tom – a client who worked with our teams to build an oak frame room above garage

A standard garage with a room above or a bespoke design
Whatever space you would like to create, it is worth considering the opportunity a room over garage could give you.
Our standard room over garage range starts at 6m deep on our ‘Little Gloucester’ extending to 6.3m on our ‘Gloucester’; this provides great space below and maximises the available space above.
By choosing one of our standard garage design templates, you will benefit from time and cost efficiencies. With the drawings already created for you, the necessary structural calculations made and the workshop and site plans all prepared, the design work associated with a bespoke garage is eliminated.
If you don’t see a garage that will fit your requirements, a bespoke garage may be exactly what you need. Working with one of our Regional Design Consultants, we will design a garage that fits exactly what you need
To discuss your plans for your room over garage arrange a meeting with our team, or to visit our very own outbuilding, call 01432 353 353 or email enquiries@configurator-oakwrights.nzi.me.
