Space & Style

We have just gained Planning and Building Regulation permission to sympathetically upgrade and remodel an unusual split level 1960s mid-century house which overlooks a salt water lake in Gosport. The proposal will see the external appearance of the property enhanced whilst considerably upgrading the insulated fabric of the building with a retrofit . Despite the extensive work, the property will not increase in floor area, but will benefit from improvements that include among other changes, opening up the kitchen to the living room to create an 11m long room, combining two bedrooms to form a master suite and bringing a redundant balcony back into use.

We have just gained planning permission to extend, remodel and renovate a large 1980s bungalow in the Titchfield Conservation Area. Our proposal will see the complete external appearance of the property transformed whilst considerably upgrading the insulated fabric of the building. Extensions will be built to the front and rear and the interior layout reorganised and refurbished to take advantage of the garden and views of the countryside beyond. The bungalow will boast a 50m2 kitchen which will have access to a new patio and verandah. Despite the extensive work, the bungalow will only have a net increase of floor area of 14m2. Our proposals gained the support of the Conservation Officer which helped lead to a speedy approval.

We are just back from a trip to the south of France where we came across a group of homes that seamlessly incorporate external leisure spaces in their architectural design. We just couldn’t resist taking a few snapshots to share the beauty of these designs with you.
