Space & Style

Adding 75m2 of living space to a small property in the countryside is never easy & turning it into a contemporary flat roof house just increases the obstacles. So we are very pleased to have gained planning permission to extend, remodel & carry out a full retrofit on an old bungalow near Guildford. Our carefully curated design of setting the building mass in the centre of the plot, whilst softening the increase in size by placing the upper structure back with visual steps and natural materials helped smooth the path to gain permission.

We have just gained planning permission to extend, improve and carry out a full retrofit on a tired midcentury house in Oxford. We can't wait to see this lovely project come to fruition. Our proposal will add 97m2 creating a 59m2 open plan kitchen, revises the staircase and bathroom layouts and introduces a 37m2 studio / home gym. The property will see the energy efficiency of its external envelope considerably improved, will have an air source heat pump, a mechanical ventilation heat recovery system (MVHR) and 5,800 kwh per year solar that will feed into a domestic battery storage system.

We have just gained Planning and Building Regulation permission to sympathetically upgrade and remodel an unusual split level 1960s mid-century house which overlooks a salt water lake in Gosport. The proposal will see the external appearance of the property enhanced whilst considerably upgrading the insulated fabric of the building with a retrofit . Despite the extensive work, the property will not increase in floor area, but will benefit from improvements that include among other changes, opening up the kitchen to the living room to create an 11m long room, combining two bedrooms to form a master suite and bringing a redundant balcony back into use.
