Sometimes the best opportunity lies in the home with the greatest potential, and that is exactly what this client discovered on one of the area’s most desirable streets.
Their aim was to modernise and elevate a 1970s detached house into a light-filled, contemporary family home.
We began by exploring sketch proposals to reimagine the façade and consider adding bedrooms within the roof space.
Updating the mansard-style roof, replacing the plastic cladding, and introducing new windows were all essential steps in creating a more modern and elegant feel.
Rendering the exterior transformed the character of the house while improving insulation.
Carefully considered details, such as stone window cills and heads beneath a new slate roof, blended contemporary style with nods to traditional architecture.
A new front entrance framed by stone columns creates a striking arrival and accommodates a beautifully designed family bathroom above.
At the rear, the layout was opened up to maximise light and garden views. Plain casement windows and expansive aluminium bifold doors create seamless connections between interior and exterior, while a large glazed roof lantern floods the former family room with natural light.
The result is a stunning, modernised home, completely transformed yet deeply thoughtful, where contemporary elegance, functional living, and architectural detail come together to create a family home that feels entirely new.
