Rural bling!
When a client requests a dramatic extension to a cottage in a conservation area, we embrace the challenge. This charming cottage, while full of character, lacked the space needed for the client's growing family. We designed a contemporary two-storey rear extension to provide a much-needed master bedroom suite and additional family living space. To ensure a warm and inviting atmosphere, we selected high-performance glass with a low U-value and specified super efficient insulation for the floors, walls, and roof.

What a transformation! |
This 1960's house could have been on George Clarke's 'Ugly house to lovely house' TV show. The 1960's layout no longer served its owners and it lacked kerb appeal. We reconfigured the internal space and added single storey and a double storey rear extension to create a modern family home. As part of the project, this amazing home was thermally upgraded to make it more energy-efficient. |
A place in The Park
A beautiful Grade II listed former schoolhouse required a dramatic reconfiguration. We created a space for the owner that was sympathetic to the listed features of the building while adding all the convenience of modern design. To ensure the home remained as cozy as possible, we also internally insulated the walls. The resulting layout combines charm with functionality, seamlessly blending traditional character and contemporary comfort.

A little Lady Bay beauty |
The design brief and enthusiasm of the clients meant this little single storey extension to create a new kitchen/diner for the family was a pure joy. The contrasting blue brick extension is playful and the vaulted form of the resulting interior space has strong architectural merit.

West Bridgford Gem
When working on this home we took inspiration from the 'arts and crafts' movement to create a slate hung single storey extension with complimentary landscaping. The interiors were also designed to respect the period in which this house was originally built. New floors, walls and roof were heavily insulated to create a thermal bridge from the outside elements.
