The brief for this project was to extend and alter an existing detached house to create a series of light filled spaces with a subtle contemporary feel. We did that by demolishing an existing flat roofed extension and building a new two storey extension in its place. That comprises a generous kitchen / living space at ground floor with bi-fold doors on two sides, allowing the whole external wall area of the living room to disappear and reveal the view in all its glory. The new master bedroom suite sits above this and benefits from a large glazed gable end and vaulted ceiling along with a spacious ensuite bathroom, complete with ‘sky shower’. Elsewhere, the whole of the house was refurbished, to create three additional bedrooms, three bathrooms, a snug and a covered dining terrace.
