Workshop location help.

Hi Guys.
Would like to pick your brains a bit and get some ideas. I do mainly repairs for a couple of music shops, and do work for Roland and Focusrite here in South Africa.
I will be moving house soon as I need more space. It has a 18 square meter garage that I was thinking of using as my workshop. We will be two people working together, plus I need space to store all incoming and out-going repairs. Do you think it will suffice?
On the other hand the house has 3 bedrooms, but they are all upstairs.
Maybe I should use the single garage downstairs for storing all the repairs, and the upstairs room for the workshop.
Don't think there is any insulation in the garage ceiling, but then again it doesn't get that cold here.
How many of you work from home? Maybe use a garage? How many of you utilise a room inside your house?
Please share your insights and photo's.
Thanx in advance!!

We live in a three story house and I have the entire top floor to myself. It has two rooms each of about 16 square metres. One I use as a workshop and the other is a small recording studio.

I find that 16 sq. m. is barely enough for one person so I think 18 sq. m. for two people plus the gear they will be working on is not going to be enough.

Cheers

Ian
