DESIGN APPROACH:

We retained the original gabled rear extension
and replicated another gable beside it to
merge it into the design. A contemporary flat
roof beside the 2 gables with corner gables
balanced the design visually. The differing roofs
has created the visual interest the client was
looking for in the internal ceilings.

DESIGN APPROACH:

To create the taller ceilings, we opted for
vaulted gables which we co-ordinated with the
existing first floor windows. The design looked
to overlap 2 gables which would create visual
interest from the rear and external nooks which
would be cosy for outdoor entertaining.

DESIGN APPROACH:

We maximised the space in this house through
side and rear extensions alongside a new
crown roof design. The parents bedroom was
created through a single storey side wing.
The external design was tied together using
a horizontal overhang to add a contemporary
element.

DESIGN APPROACH:

The exteriors have been designed in a
contemporary interpretation of the mock Tudor
style.

We created additional, larger bedrooms and a
new master suite by extending the property to
the side and implementing a new roof design
that maximises all usable space.

The property also benefits through a double height open-plan using a mezzanine portion to create a new snug space on first floor.

DESIGN APPROACH:

The frontage has been designed to be in
keeping with the original house however
creating a new central feature gable to signify
the entrance.
The new double-height entrance, paired with a first-floor gallery landing, creates a striking “wow” effect upon entry. The rear of the property has been designed in a super contemporary style “bolt on” to clearly distinguish the original structure from the extensions The master bedroom serves as a focal point at the rear, with its double-height gable and private balcony.

DESIGN APPROACH:

The frontage has been designed to be in
keeping with the original house, retaining eaves
cornicing features.
The rear of the property has been designed in
a contemporary style to help differentiate the
original property from any extensions.

The design includes a split level living with a
mezzanine snug and balcony alongside a large
basement which takes advantage of the natural
garden levels.

DESIGN APPROACH:

The client had a very particular style of design
he was looking for the externals which was
informed by his travels. We respected the
original dwelling design by retaining the main
curved feature and replicated this on the first
floor.
The height of the proposal was kept to a
minimum through the use of a “Chalet” style
roof. We incorporated deep overhangs which
reflected the original bungalows horizontal clean
line approach.

DESIGN APPROACH:

Our client was looking for a contemporary
rethink of this 1970’s home. We introduced a
feature gable to house the master room and
a new overhang “courtyard style” entrance to
create a more inviting entry to the property.

DESIGN APPROACH:

Our client envisioned a unique contemporary
home with clean lines. We felt the site context
was well-suited for a two-story, flat-roofed
contemporary design. Working closely with
Solihull Council, we secured approval to create
an exceptional home within the greenbelt.

DESIGN APPROACH:

Our client sought a contemporary design that
would still harmonize with the conservation
area. We enhanced the original Arts and Crafts
style by incorporating contemporary glazing
elements into the street-facing elevation.
