This 1905 house had been extended and altered many times before. Each intervention had concentrated on a particular requirement, often to the detriment of the house as a whole. What was required was a holistic approach to improve the overall layout, provide some additional accommodation and enhance kerb appeal.
The house had some attractive features and it was important not to lose sight of these in our proposals. It is fair to say that our initial proposals encouraged our clients to raise their expectations and together we came up with the adopted scheme. By carefully crafting the design, keeping a careful eye on the practical and the budget constraints, the project was carried through to completion with a minimum of fuss.
The end result has produced a most beautiful house, retaining its charm, improving its poise and creating the additonal space our clients required. Often it is the requirement of a client for more space that triggers our involvement but, we can achieve so much more with a house than just adding space.
