Project Overview
Location: Falmouth, MA
Project Type: Garage Conversion / Interior Build-Out
Scope: Structural modifications, window installation, door replacements, flooring, ceiling finish, and custom features
Key Features: Large window installation, sliding patio door, oak flooring, mini bar, shiplap ceiling
Before the Build-Out
The existing garage space was underutilized and disconnected from the main living area. Key limitations included:
Standard garage door limiting natural light and usability
Narrow doorway connecting to the main house
Basic exterior door to the yard
Unfinished interior lacking warmth and functionality
The goal was to convert the space into a comfortable, usable living area that felt like a natural extension of the home.
The Build-Out Process
Garage Door Conversion to Window
The existing garage door was removed and replaced with a large window, dramatically increasing natural light and helping the space feel open and livable.
Opening the Interior Connection
We expanded the doorway connecting the garage to the main house, improving flow and creating a more seamless transition between spaces.
Sliding Patio Door Installation
The original exterior door was replaced with a sliding patio door, providing easier access to the yard and enhancing the overall look of the space.
Oak Flooring Installation
New oak flooring was installed throughout, adding warmth, durability, and continuity with the rest of the home.
Mini Bar Addition
A custom mini bar was incorporated into the design, adding both functionality and a focal point for entertaining.
Shiplap Ceiling Finish
The ceiling was finished with shiplap, bringing texture and character to the space while creating a clean, finished look.
The Finished Result
The completed space is bright, functional, and fully integrated with the home. What was once a basic garage is now a versatile living area with high-end finishes and thoughtful design elements.
The combination of natural light, improved layout, and custom features makes this space ideal for relaxing, entertaining, or everyday use.
