Transforming a Traditional Home for Modern Family Living

Our client wanted to make improvements on their house which sits in the green belt zone to modernise and make the most of the space they had. As well as re-designing the internal layout, an extension to the main house was required to further expand living areas and kitchen space, and included a swimming pool, jacuzzi and sauna. This extension improved connection to the garden, bought more natural light into the house and future-proofed the home with a more modern layout.
The Challenge
Our Response
The Outcome

A carefully considered extension and refurbishment transformed this family home into a bright, contemporary living environment, balancing modern open-plan spaces with the character of the existing property. The original garage space which sat within the house was transformed into a games room for relaxation and entertaining, and a new build garage was built detached from the house. Internal refurbishment was completed on the ground and first floors of the house, providing a more open plan layout downstairs, and a larger bedroom, en-suite, and walk in wardrobe on the first floor.
Large areas of glazing were carefully positioned to maximise daylight while framing views of the garden, creating a stronger connection between inside and outside. Throughout the design process we had to work with the constraints of an existing building and still maintain the property's character.
The new extension and the internal refurbishment gives the family a bright, sociable space that opens directly onto the garden, making everyday living and entertaining far easier. There are now flexible entertaining spaces with garden, pool area, kitchen space, and the addition of the games and relaxation room where the original garage once was. Overall, we were able to transform the space to improve family life and create a contemporary living environment while retaining the period character of the house.
