Our client was keen to modernise this rather dull detached post-war bungalow into a striking modern home, while increasing the floor area and making better use of the internal spaces. The existing property was over two stories, with the upper floor enclosed within a concrete pantile roof and linear upvc clad dormer. Planning concerns dictated that we retain the original roof pitch and height.
To create the perception of height and space, we added a central double-height atrium, sightlines through to the garden, and a sunken living area.
Our approach reimagines the bungalow as a contemporary, refined structure, using high-quality modern materials and detailing. This allowed us to expand the upper floor while creating a more open and free-flowing ground floor. Externally, a sleek zinc roof and cladding complete the transformation, while expansive glazed sliding doors seamlessly connect the living space to the garden.
