PROJECT DETAILS
Our clients had been in contact with us for approximately 1 year, during which time they considered 3 properties for renovation, all in the same development. The property they ultimately bought needed substantial renovation works. Its building fabric was in fair condition compared to others we have worked on. However, it did need modernising. The brief was to hand over a comfortable home that was modernised to feel like a new house. It was quickly decided that we could transform the house by raising the ceiling in the living room. Credit must go to the client for their part in this decision.
By far the most significant change to this house is the vaulted ceiling in the living room. It adds a feeling of space and light as well as being a nice design feature to look at. The design at this house extended out into the enclosed courtyard, which is a real feature, and very much part of the house. The courtyard was paved and new planting was installed. We also renovated the garage and utility room which are now fully utilised to the benefit of the main house. Needless to say the house was insulated and the usual retrofit works were carried out.
A thirty year old house has been re-born. The house is contemporary in style and it is comfortable. Its layout is custom designed to suit our clients’ lifestyle.
