Working on the House

   
Converting a Garage into a casica.

Size: 14 Images

There were 2 garages on the property when we moved in. This one at the front of the house had very poor access, and was a waste of space.

 

We added some internal walls, and converted it into a guest house with a double bedroom, lounge with a bar, kitchen and bathroom.

 

The casica looks out over the area which will be turned into a pool and sun terrace in 2008.

 
   

   
BBQ house and outdoor bathroom

There were a line of kennels which ran the whole width of the property between the house and the olive orchard.

 

We demolished the kennels and rebuilt a large BBQ house and outdoor bathroom at one side of the garden, ready for when the area in front of the house is a pool and sun terrace.

 
   

   
Converting carport and workshops into Kevins Suite

The area at the back of the house between the driveway and the kitchen was all wasted space.

Originally it was used as a carport/junk store, plus oil storeage. The storeroom also doubled as a boiler room.

We put blocked in the carport and turned it into a 3m by 3m bathroom, plus a walk in wardrobe with a boiler room built in behind it.

The store room we converted into a 4.5m by 4.5 m bedroom with a 4.5 m x 2.5m laundry room.

The left wing of the house (when viewed from the front) was stables and tack rooms.

 

We have converted the rear porion into our office. The next project, for early 2008, is to convert the stables into a master suite.

 

This involves building a suspended floor of some 45sq metres, and building a bathroom with a sunken bath.

 

Check back here in 2008 to see the progress.

 
   

   
Installing a pool in front of the house.

There is a large space outside the courtyard gates, flanked on one site by the BBQ house and on the other by the casica.

We are going to install a pool and a sun terrace in this area.

Come back in 2008 to see the progress.
