Concept + Solution

​

A family home for multiple generations which had become outgrown by the owners required a drastic rethink. The family needed more quality space, and a fresh layout that would work for them and their everyday living needs.

​

A ground floor bedroom was an essential requirement as mobility issues meant that one of the parents could not use the stairs.

​

We decided that the use of permitted development rights for the semi-detached house gave the best possible options for maximising the space, this included;

​

- 6 Meter deep rear extension (prior approval for larger home extension) – living space opening onto the patio garden

​

- Side extension (permitted development/ PDA)– To accommodate the ground floor bedroom.

​

- Loft conversion – to get an additional large bedroom with En-suite Bathroom.

​

- Total 4 large double bedrooms, each one with its own en-suite Bathroom– this meant that everyone living in the house could be fully independent in terms of privacy.

​

- The layout was reconfigured on the ground floor so that the kitchen was put into the front room of the house, this allowed a fully open plan living and dining space to rear opening onto the garden for entertaining.
