Home owners
Single storey extension
Many homes just require a small extension to really benefit the owner. We have a a great deal of experience in this area. From the smallest addition to a kitchen to a full wrap around extension including a swimming pool.
Our client wanted to extend his property by adding an orangery to take advantage of the fantastic river views. Th original house only had a small window overlooking the river. We also redesigned the internal layout to extend and create a fantastic spacious kitchen and utility room.
Two storey extension
Sometimes a home really need that bit more space.
Our client’s property lies within a conservation area was accessed from a dated glazed stairway. We were able to maximise the internal space creating a new kitchen and day room. This has been done in a sympathetic manner in keeping with the area.
Loft conversion
Many properties have space in the roof that may be easily converted into an additional bedroom and en-suite. We have years of experience creating beautiful spaces.
Our client for this bungalow wanted a bigger master bedroom with an en-suite. We were able to design a solution that suited his needs with out changing the appearance for this bungalow set in this tranquil location in the New Forrest
New build and self build
Over the years we have help people to design build their forever homes. We have used both traditional and modern methods of construction. Building sustainable carbon negative homes.
Nestled in the picturesque green belt of Hertfordshire, we proudly designed a bespoke luxury home that harmoniously integrates with the natural landscape. Working with the contours of the land, we carefully set the residence into the hillside, creating a seamless connection between the interior and the stunning surroundings. This property showcases a commitment to sustainability, incorporating the latest technologies to achieve a carbon-neutral status..
Refurbishment
The house had been frozen in time and required a complete rewire and new heating to make habitable. Our brief was to keep as many of the original features as possible.
The original sash windows all required repair by a specialist joiner. We sourced a specialist plasterer with the rare the skills required to recreate the lost and damaged coving.
The stone bay had suffer decades of poor repairs using the wrong materials that only added to its decay. We used an experienced stone mason to remake the damaged stone bay. Specifying the correct breathable paint that would allow the stone to last.
Conversion of garages and garden annexes
Garages are often underutilised and can add value to your home. If there's room in your garden, you could potentially create that much needed space without having to move . Whether it’s for a home office or a granny flat, we can assist you.
Conservation and listed buildings
Listed buildings come with a rich history, so it’s important that any changes you make respect their character. Any maintenance work, repairs or modernisations must try to preserve the building’s integrity and celebrate its traditional features. Working on listed buildings can be incredibly rewarding. Over the years we have had the great pleasure of on many Grade 2 properties.
