Bespoke Houses and Extensions

Renovation & Extension, West Harling

The proposal was for the renovation and extension of an existing derelict Lodge within a rural location. It was established that the Lodge was suitable for renovation, owing to its architectural and historic significance. The existing elevations were retained on all sides and the extension reflected the existing building by using a carefully matched red brick with grey brick decoration to the opening and quoin. The alterations made this building into a more reasonably sized family house, bringing its size up to a level to suit the ideal location. The overall approach was to add to the Lodge without over-powering or changing its character.

Extension, Diss

The existing house was of no special architectural or historic interest and had modern windows and extensions that had been carried out over the years. The proposal was to demolish the single-storey extension and create a new two-storey extension of a high modern design standard, improving the overall appearance of the house. It was designed to have a rendered section of the extension in the same colour as the main house to blend the old into the new.

Replacement Dwelling, Garboldisham

In June 2010, the original cottage sadly burned down and therefore the owners sought planning permission for a replacement dwelling. The replacement house was designed to be of a similar stylistic appearance to the original house to the front. The house design was traditionally based, with a red brick to the front and cream render over a traditional red brick plinth on all other elevations.

Extension, Beaumont

This house in Beaumont is historic, but not Listed. The clients wanted to update and modernise the existing single storey extension. The new extension contrasts with the existing room sizes and creates a large open plan family space. The extension was designed to make the most the vast extending Essex countryside to the rear of the property. The addition of full height glazing on both the ground and first floor enhance this further, whilst allowing an abundance of light to penetrate the rooms.
