can you post the whole house floor plan showing dimensions and checking them to make sure they are correct as a lot of these plans are not. Is it a brick and tile build on a concrete slab or other with access under. Is the garage floor on the same level as the house

You say you want a new entry for bedroom. Why? .......Are you wanting this entry from the new living area in the garage?

Assuming you want to retain some under cover parking, and avoid the costly business of changing the facade; a simple alteration to give you a 'storage' space that could be used as a rumpus room, would be to put up stud walls where I've drawn the red lines. Use the front area for storage and keep one parking space.

It won't add value to the property but it would cheaply solve the problem. Otherwise my first stop would be a chat to the council planners to see if you're even allowed to lose the undercover parking.

Yes, need better overview of what you're working with and better understanding of what you want to achieve with the changes please?

Wow! Thank you for the comments. This is my first time on app for discussions.

I should clarify, we are going to add a full tiled carport to the front of garage so full space of current garage can be utilised for the second living space.

The reason we are considering a new entry for maters is for privacy. We have young children and when you enter the home you can see straight into master, which is problematic when using the ensuite and kids open doors

Ideally I would like garage conversion to be cohesive with the floor plan and lay the same flooring throughout.

Thanks again for comments

I’m sorry, your plan is showing when you enter the home you walk straight towards a wall, you can’t see into the master unless you turn to the left. So how can you see straight into the master when entering the home. If you are changing the garage to a new living, then have the entrance in master bedroom from new living through the WIR area, which can be made bigger if you lose the current entry to master. Just seems cumbersome, the kids will get bigger and won’t open your door, and installing a door lock would be a much easier outcome.

Pending changes required for the garage conversion I’d recommend a self-closer for the main bedroom door. They can be a game changer.

If you're converting the whole garage, I'd consider what other spaces your house lacks. 6*6.2m is a massive space. You could conceivably divide it into 2 bedrooms (or a bed with ensuite), and a decent second living space.

Or just have one massive room with space for a full size pool table 😆

I found a house plan. Hope this gives you an idea… I will look into self closer for the door too 😆

If your aim is to have two living areas (with kids it’s my goal too, I think we could recommend to close off the existing living as a separate room and have a kitchen, dining and smaller living. You’d have to remove the bar but most people do this anyway. I’d then leave the garage as a garage but you could kit out one side with a table tennis table etc. or playroom depending on how old the kids are. Try and live in the house for a while before making any changes. You’d be amazed how lives change.

The home looks wonderful just as it is.

Thank you 😊

Lock on bedroom door would be cheaper or add a slider as a second door to seperate bedroom hall/wir from the square bedroom area. Put a tinkle . bell on existing door to warn you. Or you could enter via WIR.
With this plan I have made the wir inner door wider to allow furniture movement.

Thank you. This is what I was thinking, I like the idea of changing entry via WIR.

Less change probably better

Are you planning on having a perfectly styled, perfectly tidy, amazingly curated WIR? Why would you switch an entry that has no sight lines to anything private to the WIR containing personal items. The WIR entry is far more easily seen into by visitors than the original entry. I think you need to live with the existing layout for a while before committing to a change that may be a mistake.

It would need to be closed robes. B

Wow! This is an idea I hadn’t even considered. Thank you 🙂

Haven't read the other comments but before you do anything check with council that you are allowed to do what you want. Some councils require you to still provide carparking and that needs to be addressed when robbing a garage to convert it into living space. You will also need to lift the floor to be level with the rest of the house and comply with the N.B.C. regarding min step down from habitable rooms and the finished ground level and comply with min ceiling height for habitable rooms. Then start dreaming and planning.

My sister converted her double garage into a rumpus room for her children. As mentioned above the space is bigger than needed. She put in a stud wall (with door) along the length of the garage as a narrow store room. Floor to ceiling deep storage shelves along one wall for all those bulky items (like suitcases, boogieboards), and room for a second fridge/freezer for when she buys in bulk. I think what made her conversion successful (and not look like a garage conversion) was that she filled in the wall where the garage doors had been and put in an ordinary-sized door in from her partly enclosed carport. She had a floor to ceiling window on one side to give light and you have a window to the side as well.
