How to place a garage on your property is an issue that needs to be considered. Quite a few people decide to build a garage, which is a part of the building. It is worth knowing about a few things connected with such a decision.
Garage, which is a part of the house, undoubtedly saves space on the property. This is particularly important in smaller plots, where such space can be used for recreational purposes for the household members. The costs of building such a garage are lower than building a separate building on a car. Such an expense is a part of the whole house project, so the financial outlays are spread out. We have a common installation, part of the walls, as well as roofing. Therefore, by deciding on such an investment already at the stage of construction of the house, you can save on expenses. In addition, the garage can be accessed directly from home, so we do not have to worry about bad weather outside. We get in the car without having to go outside.
Deciding on such a solution, it is worth considering whether this type of garage will not take up too much space when it comes to the surface of the house itself. Especially when it is on the level of the ground floor, not the basement. Then we put it at the expense of reducing the floor space of the lower part of the building. On the other hand, the construction of a garage in the basement will certainly make the project much more expensive. After all, such a basement is an additional storey.
It is also necessary to remember about the necessity to carry out drainage on falling terrain. A steep descent downhill in winter can be very slippery, so we must think about the anti-icing installation, or take into account the need to sprinkle the descent with salt or sand. This, of course, entails additional obligations.
It's not always possible to reconcile the two. For example, a larger and front garage door would certainly be more comfortable to use, but it may not fit the building and simply adversely affect the appearance of the facade. Too big garage, despite the fact that it is certainly very functional, can disturb the proportions of the whole building. That is why we must certainly find the best possible compromise between comfort and aesthetics here.
It is important to be aware that every decision has different consequences. It's no different when it comes to the garage and its location on the plot. Therefore, before we make the final decision, it is worth to analyze all the pros and cons and review the house designs. If you look at different ideas, it will be easier for us to choose the right one for you.
