Scheme Design Style: Contemporary / Minimalist / Modern
Client Requirements / Brief: Two storey extension and alterations to accommodate:
Site Constraints: Restricted ridge /roof height due to those of neighbouring buildings/adjacent bungalow and the sloping site.
Planning Constraints: Pre-Planning Advice recommended a traditional extension in keeping with the existing bungalow or a completely new house in a contemporary style. We designed and delivered a scheme that extended, altered and modified the existing building to read as a single new contemporary dwelling and gained Planning Permission for the scheme.
Site Opportunities: The site slopes to the rear allowing the scheme to use a stepped plan to accommodate a full two storey extension behind and partially over a single storey front building area. This allows the building to ‘develop’ behind the smaller scale frontage to become an unexpectantly large property and keep the street frontage and language in scale with its neighbouring buildings.
Problem Solving: Extending and adapting the existing building and site – total change of style from the existing building. Using the opportunities within the site and pre-planning advice to advance the scheme in the direction favoured by the Client and ourselves to gain Planning Permission for a contemporary family home which is strikingly different to its neighbouring dwellings. Interconnecting spaces and routes within the dwelling to ensure the final family home worked practically in every way and with the sloping site.
