The client’s brief called for a comprehensive transformation, including a large (5m) rear wraparound extension, a double-storey rear extension, and a loft conversion. The objectives for each level were as follows:
Ground Floor:
A spacious open-plan kitchen with an island, seamlessly integrated with a large family snug, designed to maximise natural light and offer views of the garden.
A WC and utility room for convenience.
A formal dining area for entertaining.
A formal reception area for relaxed gatherings.
First Floor:
Conversion of three existing double and single bedrooms into four generous double bedrooms, complemented by a family bathroom.
Loft:
Creation of a luxurious master bedroom with an en-suite bathroom.
This was a complex and ambitious project, but Blackstone Architects overcame the challenges and successfully obtained planning approval with the first application.
