Located on a leafy suburban site on the outskirts of the historic town of Bury-St Edmunds, an unremarkable brick and block built single storey bungalow with a detached garage surrounded by mature trees was the setting for this residential project. Our clients required additional living and bedroom space for their growing family, as well as a full re-modelling of the exterior envelope of the building to create a building of architectural merit, and all on a tight budget. The existing dwelling was well positioned within the site, with the juxtaposition of the garage structure forming an open embrace upon arrival, but with all internal living spaces turning their back on this obvious opportunity.
