This project transformed a dated 1970s detached house in Bishop Waltham into a modern, light-filled family home. A contemporary gable rear extension replaced a poorly insulated conservatory, while the entire ground floor was reconfigured to improve flow and functionality. A new oak-framed covered porch adds warmth, character and a welcoming sense of arrival.
Designed to enhance modern family living, the open-plan extension accommodates a bright and spacious kitchen and living area. Vaulted ceilings, large feature glazing, tilt-and-turn windows, a central fireplace and rooflights combine to create an airy, light-filled interior. The extension and new layout enhance connections to the garden, offering framed garden views and a seamless transition between indoor / outdoor spaces.
In addition to the main living space, the redesign includes a utility room, a compact home office and a covered entrance porch – all seamlessly integrated into the design. Vaulted ceilings at the front further enhance the sense of space and cohesion throughout.
A carefully selected material palette of red brick, render and interlocking concrete roof tiles complements the contemporary form of the gable rear extension.
We provided full architectural services from concept to completion – including acting as Building Regulations principal designers, supporting our clients at every stage. The result is a bespoke, functional and contemporary extension that creates a home tailored to our clients’ contemporary lifestyle.
