In this instance, we were initially engaged to find a way to produce a kitchen entertainment space, but we soon found ourselves also looking at the entrance porch and kerb appeal of the house. The favoured scheme involved converting the double garage into the kitchen space and creating a new garage on the other side of the house. It was clear that our clients liked working with us, and we even got asked to come up with ideas for their gardens, which we duly did. Our “happy to help” approach and inventiveness mean that we will almost always arrive at something helpful.
The project was just completed when sudden circumstances caused our clients to emigrate, but the house is now a much more valuable and desirable property than hitherto, so the exercise was not wasted. Even though our clients, sadly, will not get the benefit of living there, another family will.
