Garage Conversion

Converting a domestic garage into a professional, welcoming dog grooming salon.

The brief

The client wanted to transform an underused domestic garage into a professional dog grooming salon, creating a dedicated commercial space while maintaining the character and functionality of the existing property. The aim was to establish a welcoming environment for customers and pets, with a practical internal layout that supported the day-to-day operation of the business.

The design balanced the requirements of a commercial premises with the constraints of a residential setting, ensuring the proposal complemented the existing home while providing a high-quality workspace that met planning and functional requirements.

Scope of Work

Our role included developing the architectural design and preparing the planning application for the conversion of the existing garage into a dog grooming business.

The project involved measured surveys, existing and proposed drawings, site and location plans, external alterations including replacing the garage door with French doors, the creation of a new private side entrance, and the internal reconfiguration of the space to accommodate a dedicated grooming area and storage. We also produced all planning documentation required to support the change of use, ensuring the proposal integrated sympathetically with the existing property while delivering a functional commercial environment.
