Complete Modernisation with Thoughtful Extensions

This project involved a full modernisation of the existing home, reimagining its layout and expanding its functionality. New bedrooms were added within a loft conversion, while a generous side extension significantly enlarged the kitchen and main living areas.

Replacing the original conservatory, a contemporary yet sympathetic extension was designed, featuring vaulted ceilings and expansive skylights. Glazing on all sides frames views of the landscaped surroundings, creating a light-filled, serene space that blurs the line between indoors and out.

The loft conversion introduced a series of distinctive spaces shaped by the natural roofline. These nooks have been creatively used for music, reading, and quiet retreat. In one of the new bedrooms, Velux Cabrio skylights open up to form a balcony, offering outdoor access and light without the need for a traditional dormer.
