I have a very ordinary looking 1960s built detached house, for which I wanted a first floor bathroom extension to the front elevation. Light House Studio listened carefully to my ideas, particularly in view of wanting something different than the usual.

Rachael's help was essential for our project, being a substantial remodelling of our first floor and ground floor, with structural alterations.
