1930's Bungalow Remodel - Extension, Conversion & Interior Design

A comprehensive remodel of a 2 bed bungalow into a 4 bed family home, comprising of a single storey and a double storey extension, interior planning and design, external landscaping and lighting. The brief required a large family kitchen central to a spacious plan which links internal & external living areas, and with the use of loft space for the new first floor.

The front entrance is relocated to the end of the property, to create a new stairwell and internal hallway central to the plan, enabling access for a maximised first floor footprint, and a junction between ground floor sociable & private areas.

The 2 storey wraparound extension projects just 1.5m to the rear and 1.3m to the side of the property, sitting adjacent to a single storey trussed roof extension with bespoke timber feature apex window wall & doors. A patio area flows at level between the two spaces via steel bifold and french doors, bringing together kitchen and living room, creating inside outside living with a courtyard character.

The master bedroom benefits from a fully glazed window wall with Juliet balcony, in symmetry with the kitchen bifold wall below, each nestled within, looking out over the newly landscaped garden or mature treetops, towards the neighbouring green conservation area.

Furniture, fixtures & fittings include bespoke cabinetry & worktops, a Danish wood stove, fully restored original Crittall doors, an antique school cupboard, to oversized reclaimed coach lanterns and (repurposed) original mid century Friso Kramer architect chairs.

External landscaping includes, feature steps, raised beds, rendered and capped as part of a split level Indian sandstone patio. A timber frame larch clad garden house & log store with a sedum / green roof added, softens the appearance when viewed from the first floor, and attracts an abundance of bees and pollinators. Pleached laurel trees, wild grasses, acers, cordylines and phormiums add architectural interest, making a private, peaceful environment, with feature lighting bringing the landscaping to life after dark.
