Space & Style

We have just gained planning permission to extend, remodel and renovate a large 1980s bungalow in the Titchfield Conservation Area. Our proposal will see the complete external appearance of the property transformed whilst considerably upgrading the insulated fabric of the building. Extensions will be built to the front and rear and the interior layout reorganised and refurbished to take advantage of the garden and views of the countryside beyond. The bungalow will boast a 50m2 kitchen which will have access to a new patio and verandah. Despite the extensive work, the bungalow will only have a net increase of floor area of 14m2. Our proposals gained the support of the Conservation Officer which helped lead to a speedy approval.

We are just back from a trip to the south of France where we came across a group of homes that seamlessly incorporate external leisure spaces in their architectural design. We just couldn’t resist taking a few snapshots to share the beauty of these designs with you.

Social kitchens work best when they are bright spaces, have beautiful kitchen surfaces and are free of clutter. Depending on your budget and objectives, we walk you through four different ways to achieve one of these desirable spaces in our latest Journal post.
