The Brief

Two storey family house, Leigh Woods

The clients had lived in the property for several years before approaching us. They had recently completed an extension and renovation of much of the ground floor of the property, and intended to undertake a second phase of works to include a new ground floor entrance, and a large first floor extension. The brief was to design and obtain permission for both, insuring they were designed to a high standard and achievable within the project budget. The objective behind the project was to provide an enhanced entrance to the property with new secured off-street parking, and a reimagined first floor layout with a generous master-suite and feature atrium, letting light into the darker ground floor spaces.

The Challenge

The property was not Listed but was within a Conservation Area, so an attention to detail and a careful use of materials was integral to the design process. Ensuring any new building elements were high-quality and sensitively designed, was also critical to the success of the project. Another significant challenge was in designing the feature atrium space and additional lightwells, using cutting-edge 3D modelling and visualisation software to ensure these functioned correctly.
