Our project for a house refurbishment and extension in Hampton Hill has been completed. You can check the final pictures here.
Our project for a full house extension and refurbishment in Hampton Hill has been finally completed. This was a remarkably interesting project with a client who proactively engaged in a dialogue with the Architect throughout the whole design phase.
The project started as a ground floor extension and full house redevelopment that would have eventually included a second phase with a loft extension. The client wanted a project that would consider both phases of the design at the same time to avoid any inconsistency at a later stage. As it often happens the clients plans had to change halfway and they decided to reduce the scope for the ground floor extension and carry on with the construction of the loft extension in one single phase.
Our approach has been flexible, and we redesigned parts of the project to exclude certain sections of the rear extension. The revised project included most of the internal alterations that would enhance the property as a whole in particular turning the existing stair 90 degrees to be parallel with the house.
By the end of the project, the property gained two extra bedrooms and one family bathroom at second floor level. Turning the stair 90 degrees allowed to provide a more logical layout at both the ground and the first-floor level. The stair benefits from a skylight at second floor level that provide daylight for the circulation whole space. This is a rare feature in these types of properties, and we feel that the presence of natural daylight in the middle of the house should always be welcomed.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank the client for their involvement at all stages and the contractor for building an extension that reflects our design. The construction process was overall very seamless, and this is due to the professionalism of the builders and the precision of the instructions included in our drawings package.
