Project Overview
Raising the roof, adding 100m2 of additional floor space and giving it a welcoming New England design transformed this property.
THE SPACE
Our design extended the bungalow to the rear and added another storey to create a modern family home. Our plans added just under 100m2 of living accommodation over the ground and first floors, with a 57m2 kitchen and family room at the rear of the house. The L shaped kitchen has a 4.5m high vaulted ceiling, a glass gable overlooking the garden and a wide expanse of glass doors giving access to a south facing patio.
The ground floor benefited from the creation of a larger living room, a ground floor WC and a new attached garage. Our clever reorganisation of the layout saw the hallway increased in width, a bright new entrance added and a welcoming open verandah constructed at the front. On the first floor, our design created three bedrooms, two bathrooms and an internal hallway filled with light via a roof lantern.
THE STYLE
Gaining planning permission for adding another storey can be tricky when the property sits alongside other single storey homes. Our asymmetrical design raised the ridge and added gables and dormers to the front and rear elevations.
The use of steep pitched roofs, horizontal cladding and the welcoming open verandah at the front gave this beautiful house a New England feel.
