Breezeway conversion

Project by SonnyGarcia posted 1172 days ago 2578 views 0 times favorited 6 comments Add to Favorites Watch

Standard breezway in center of the house was converted into a living space. We opened up the wall connecting to the house too. The part I enjoyed most was the finish trim work. I milled some of it myself. The owner picked all the colors and the stains.

What a change! Did you use furing strips over the cinder walls then sheet it with drywall?

looks very nice…I like the way you worked the old brick into it and just didn’t cover it up…well done

Yea, I’ve seen times where some have just painted over the old brick. Not my favorite, I like it when you can incorporate the brick into the build, rather than hide it. Well done.

Nicely done. A great use of space. Why have a roof, if you don’t use the space under it.

When comparing the before and after shots I can honestly agree that the improvements are substantial. The look prior was quite “ugly” whereas now you not only have increased your living space, but beautified the home from the outside as well. When I read the word Breezeway I started to have visions of beauty. Some of the breezeways I have seen have been outstanding open garden and living rooms that link two ends of a home. Often a fireplace or large cooker can be used in a breezeway as can the jacuzzi. My favorite is the type of breezeway that links lounge and dining into the outdoors yet is under cover. Perfect for summer entertaining.
