We are excited to show you the first image of our new project: an annexe to a house in Hampton. This project demonstrates our commitment to creating spaces that flow well with the existing structure while meeting our clients' needs and desires. Stay tuned for more updates on this project as we work to create a masterpiece that will change how residents enjoy their home.
The client contacted Square One Architects back in 2016 with their vision of expanding their detached house. Their aim was to replace an antiquated garage structure with a brand new, modern annexe that would function as a standalone living space for their daughter. The proposed annexe would boast a self-contained flat, complete with a compact yet fully functional bathroom and kitchenette. Additionally, a distinctive mezzanine bed area would be incorporated to optimize space utilization. Of utmost importance to the client was ensuring that the annexe would be easily accessible from both the existing house and the front driveway, facilitating seamless entry and exit points.
In order to optimize the natural lighting in the newly designed space, our team took great care in strategically positioning multiple skylights. Specifically, we dedicated our attention to ensuring an even distribution of daylight throughout the area. To achieve this, we designed two skylights within the pitched roof section of the annexe, complemented by an additional two skylights integrated into the flat roof where the new structure seamlessly meets the existing roof. By carefully implementing this design approach, we will enhance the overall atmosphere and ambiance of the space while prioritizing the utilization of natural light sources.
We are excited to announce that we have reached an important milestone in our project journey. As we transition to the next phase of detailed design, our team is dedicated to bringing your vision to life. Our architects and designers are working to further refine the project, paying close attention to every detail. In the coming weeks, we will be sharing more images Stay tuned for these exciting updates as we continue to progress towards the realization this very special space.
