Extension - to a listed building
The brief
Return an ugly rendered gable end on a listed building to a natural stone finish and extend the ground floor to create increased living space.
Our approach
We had to pay special attention to the finer detail on this project to remain in line with the requirements of the listed building status. Stonework and pointing was carefully matched, as were new lintels, required to support the large patio doors
The result
A pretty extension into the attractive garden space which is quickly weathering to perfectly match the oldest parts oof this lovely old weavers’ cottage.
An extension to create more sociable living
The brief
Change the traditional layout in a modern home to create a single family space with access directly onto the garden.
Our approach
On this project we removed internal walls and opened up the back of the building with the addition of new steel supports. This provided the much-needed space for a huge open plan kitchen and an entire ‘wall of glass’ onto the garden.
The result
Our clients on this project were delighted with the way the changes we made to their home have completely transformed the way they live – making much more of the family space and with much better access to the garden.
Extending an artists gallery
The brief
Our best-known local artist asked us to extend his gallery to include an additional storey, as well as creating a focal point on the new, centrally located building
Our approach
This project is an example of how we aim to contribute to the shaping of our lovely town – the care and attention to detail to ensure that the stonework and lintels match were of key importance to us. We also completed this project whilst our client continued to operate and welcome customers as usual, so extra care was taken in all our operations too.
