I need to make a decision about this in the next couple of weeks.
I have a detached garage with the front - not surprisingly - facing the road and the back joining on to our otherwise enclosed garden.
It is a good size with unusually good height at the front. I would like to convert this to a home office/spare room/studio. The key question is that I would want it to last me a good few years to make the cost of conversion (likely to be about £20k after services, decoration, toilet etc) worth while.
The garage looks like this:
My plan is to have a door/toilet at the back and leave the front half as the main shooting space given the height.
The catch is that unless potential clients come through the house, down the garden and into the studio there will also need to be a door/window in the front for the main entrance which is where the background/shooting area would logically be put. This means that on rainy days, pushchairs, wet feet will all be getting on the clean floor I want to shoot on.
There is no chance of putting the front door along either side.
Unless the background went up against a side wall which would restrict me in terms of how far I (and the subject) could be from the wall.
So my real questions are:
1) Is this space big enough for a space to shoot family/kids portraits ?
2) How much of an issue will the front door be on a daily basis ?
3) Maybe I should just get used to having 2m of width and leave a permanent aisle up the side?

if you are considering full length shots the ceiling height would be a bit limiting but not out of the question.
