Extension on a Challenging Site |
This elegant Nottinghamshire home has been transformed through a carefully considered extension that redefines the way it connects to its garden and surrounding landscape. Designed around the natural slope of the site, the new rear addition steps down to meet the outdoor levels, creating a dramatic vaulted living space filled with natural light. A cantilevered corner opens to the garden, offering uninterrupted views and a seamless transition between inside and out. The tiered garden design complements the architecture, providing distinct spaces for relaxation, entertaining and home working. A new second-storey extension adds a spacious bedroom with a Juliette balcony, while energy-efficient upgrades ensure lasting comfort and performance to match the home’s refined design.

Cottage Extension in Conservation Area
|
When a client requests a dramatic extension to a cottage in a conservation area, we embrace the challenge. This charming cottage, while full of character, lacked the space needed for the client's growing family. We designed a contemporary two-storey rear extension to provide a much-needed master bedroom suite and additional family living space. To ensure a warm and inviting atmosphere, we selected high-performance glass with a low U-value and specified super efficient insulation for the floors, walls, and roof.

Two Storey Extension and Facelift |
This 1960's house could have been on George Clarke's 'Ugly house to lovely house' TV show. The 1960's layout no longer served its owners and it lacked kerb appeal. We reconfigured the internal space and added single storey and a double storey rear extension to create a modern family home. As part of the project, this amazing home was thermally upgraded to make it more energy-efficient. |
Sensitive Upgrades to Grade II Listed Schoolhouse
|
A beautiful Grade II listed former schoolhouse required a dramatic reconfiguration. We created a space for the owner that was sympathetic to the listed features of the building while adding all the convenience of modern design. To ensure the home remained as cozy as possible, we also internally insulated the walls. The resulting layout combines charm with functionality, seamlessly blending traditional character and contemporary comfort.

Extension, Layout Alterations and Eco Upgrades |
This once tired property with its traditional layout has been thoughtfully extended and modernised, while still retaining its classic character. A south-facing garden now fills the new open-plan living space with natural light, creating a seamless connection between house and garden that is perfect for both family life and entertaining. A separate lounge provides a peaceful retreat for evenings or quiet moments away from the bustle of daily life. Relocating the staircase unlocked a generous entrance hall and vaulted landing, transforming the sense of arrival into something bright and welcoming. Thermal upgrades throughout ensure year-round comfort, energy efficiency and reduced running costs.

Arts and Crafts Themed Extension and Upgrades in West Bridgeford
|
When working on this home we took inspiration from the 'arts and crafts' movement to create a slate hung single storey extension with complimentary landscaping. The interiors were also designed to respect the period in which this house was originally built. New floors, walls and roof were heavily insulated to create a thermal bridge from the outside elements.
