Our project for a roof conversion to an Arts and Crafts home in Hampton is well underway.
The remarkable progress has allowed us to witness the transformation taking place before our eyes. As part of the conversion, a new bedroom and bathroom will be added to the existing structure, accompanied by a tastefully designed dormer that seamlessly blends with the original aesthetics. It is worth noting that this remarkable home resides within the boundaries of the Hampton Village Conservation Area, further emphasizing the importance of maintaining harmony with the surroundings.
Square One Architects was appointed for this project back in 2018. The property itself boasts a rich history, dating back to its construction in 1913, with a ground floor rear extension added in 2015. Originally, the planning application included proposals for a loft extension, which were subsequently withdrawn.
The client expressed a strong desire for the new roof conversion to be in keeping with the Arts and Crafts style that defines the essence of the house. In response, our team retained the original roof's profile while introducing generously-sized roof windows. These windows serve to infuse the new space with ample natural light and provide effective ventilation.
Additionally, our role in this project extends beyond the roof conversion. We have also been entrusted with the task of redesigning the large front garden of the house. Here, we aim to introduce a new wall, period gates, and an entirely fresh garden design. By doing so, we seek to further enhance the overall aesthetic appeal of the property, reinforcing its historical charm and visual integrity.
