We were approached by a private client to review their semi-detached victorian period home that had been extended to the rear previously and had a conservatory that was cold in the winter and roasting in the summer. We set out to change the approach of extending a home like this and to create a difference to their way of life. The idea from the outset was to ensure all the spaces were bright and airy, warm and cosy, and essentially useable space. The scheme agreed includes for a private courtyard between the old original property and the new extension to drop natural light into the interior of the whole property and create an amazing set of spaces for the family to enjoy. The second part of the scheme was to review how the loft could be converted and extended to provide an additional bedroom space. In addition, alongside this were upgrades to the fabric to improve the energy efficiency of the whole property to reduce the bills and CO2 emissions.
