The project
was to design a two storey side / rear bedroom and lounge extension and a
single storey front / side extension to incorporate a new entrance lobby and
toilet / shower cloakroom, carport, enlarged kitchen with utility room. The major internal alterations included the
installation of a new “oak” staircase, new ensuite bathrooms and walk in a
dressing room.
During the
design process, Bernard Humphrey-Gaskin of abp Chartered Architects ( abp
Architects ), suggested that there was an opportunity to improve the existing
1970’s “boxy” looking brick building, by the incorporation of an interesting
octagonal tower feature that overlooks the rear garden. It has now become the focal point of garden.
