Zinc House
This house sits in a stunning, semi-rural location with a large garden looking onto farmland and woodland beyond. The house itself was a good-sized bungalow with converted loft spaces, however it suffered from lots of previous extensions and adaptations that meant there wasn’t a coherent connection between the living spaces, and the bedrooms were small and not functional. We […]
Yellow House
This house is a cherished family home. However, none of the downstairs spaces seemed to talk to one another. The living room was too long and thin, the kitchen was disconnected from the dining and the lean-to conservatory was on its last legs! Also, the large garden was almost impossible to access. We needed to create coherence […]
Tile House
Tile House was empty when we began working with this wonderful family. The house was frozen in time as the family had lived abroad for a number of years following work and careers. Children were now teenagers, and the family had a desire to return so the teenagers could head off to university. The spaces we were […]
Through House
This house had been a rental property for years and had suffered as a consequence. The interior was dated and the spaces led from one to the other, which meant lots of circulation space and not much usable living space. The front door was also directly opposite the stairs, so every time people came into the […]
Hill House
This house sits in the most spectacular location, nestled in the Surrey Hills with far reaching views of Surrey and the South Downs. The house had a beautiful, generous hallway but the living spaces were disconnected from one another, and the kitchen was small and faced the back of the house, away from the view. The family love being outdoors […]
Garden House
On the face of it, this house was already a good size with a large entrance hall, good sized bedrooms and lots of living space. The problem was, the living spaces were poorly laid out and didn’t relate to one another, there was lots of circulation space, and the garden was only accessible from a conservatory extension linked to the kitchen. We could […]
Flow House
This house is typical of many that we visit; it was a good size but the living spaces were separate and disconnected from one another, there was a cold, unused conservatory and a large, poorly laid out integral garage. We were immediately struck by the beautiful light coming into the house and we could see the potential to be […]
Double-Height House
The original house on the site is almost unrecognisable now. It was a tired 60s bungalow with a converted roof space and disconnected downstairs living spaces. The good news was the site had the most amazing south facing garden and lots of space to the side and rear of the house to extend into. The clients […]
Cedar House
This house had been the setting for more than 30 years of family life. Young children had grown up, moved away, and were now returning with grandchildren aplenty. The needs of the family had changed, and the house was no longer fit for purpose. Our task was to improve the flow of the living spaces in the […]
Black Timber House
This house was a tale of two halves, in a way. There was the main Victorian house which, while filled with character, high ceilings and original features, still suffered from the classic one room per function problem of houses of this era. There was also a separate two-storey annex that was previously used as a separate dwelling. We could […]
