A 1960s detached property set on a sloped site provided a testing brief for a low impact minimalist extension and internal refurbishment project.

This project took a characterful Victorian semi detached house in Hatfield and enhanced this cosiness of this wonderful family home. The existing rear conservatory leaked and the poor existing rear additions were cold and unusable. We created a large open plan kitchen diner, snug bar area around the open fire, new ground floor shower room and generous utility room. The exterior was clad in a sympathetic timber effect cement board that ties everything together.

A modest new side extension made space for a new open plan kitchen/diner. We were also given the brief to create a new ground floor WC, utility room and sitting area. We managed to achieve all of this whilst working under Permitted Development Rights and even achieved a high level side window to frame the stunning Magnolia tree blossom in summer.

Working with one of our regular clients, Strats Estate Agency, we were asked to assist with their company rebrand and redesign their flagship office. The space was reorganised and a fresh industrial material palette used to create a unique new space for their clients.

This seemed like a simple project on paper, but this small space within a converted garage was tasked with providing multiple uses and creating plenty of storage space for a growing family. A playroom and extended living space was provided with an option to relocate the dining area in future.
