Current Situation
Elegant Private Residence
It has been a while working on this project, and the planning application has finally been approved by the committee, who have decided the project is feasible.
This project is a family house, and our client wanted to convert it into an elegant private residence with a contemporary to respect the England tradition.
We work hard to have a nice view of the long back garden, creating large windows facing the project’s rear from the kitchen and dining area.
We aim to maximise the volume of the house. There was a lot of negotiation to get the additional 2 story building with a loft and a roof as a mansard.
Elegant Private Residence
We had to reshape the building removing part of the 1st floor not to block the view of the next property.
We also had to remove the balconies, which were the neighbour’s main concern about privacy.
A spacious living room outlooks the lovely front garden from a contemporary bay window on the ground floor. At the same time, an open-plan combined area receives light from the expansive windows.
The 1st floor has been designed to include the main bedroom with a walk-in wardrobe, 2 single bedrooms with a balcony overlooking the rear garden, an en-suite, and a cosy home studio.
It will also be possible to access a small attic with storage space and a water tank from the first floor when necessary.


Elegant Private Residence
The proposal of a new detached family house over two storeys that will include:
- Re-organisation of the front yard with two parking spaces
- Installation of green areas on both sides of the plot
- Provision of waste management
- New design for the rear garden with a relaxation area
- New external floorings and paths to reach the existing outbuilding
- Enclosed bike storage located in the backyard
