Background
bpArchitecture were appointed by our Clients to design a new contemporary extension to their existing 1970s dwelling, creating a fourth bedroom with ensuite, garage and additional ground floor accommodation for an elderly parent.
Services Stage 1-4
Planning Approval was acquired in May 2018.
We were also appointed to produce RIBA Stage 4 Technical Drawings for Building Regulation Approval and to allow our Client to tender and construct the works. .
The stage 4 package included design of a larger garage, partially sunk into the ground to replace the storage lost by conversion of the existing garage for use as elderly parents accomodation.
Ethos
Our Client's brief was to design an attractive contemporary extension that would modernise the existing house sensitively, but not to detract from the uniformity of the existing 1970s housing estate in which it is sited.
Facilities
Side extentsion to replace the existing single storey garage and part reconfiguration of ground floor plan to provide a utility room, new entrance hall to the front, and wet room.
Single storey rear extension to replace the existing extendd garage provide a bedroom and sitting room with two rooflights to provide accomdation for an elderly parent with end of life care needs.
New large garage and workshop to the side to replace storage space lost.
Upper floor of the side extension to provide a Master bedroom with ensuite and walk in wardrobe. Exisitng bedrooms 1-3 at first floor emain unaltered for the childrens use.
Sustainability
The proposed extension was to be designed to comply with current Building Regulations which would ensure a more energy efficient dwelling. Replacement rather than conversion of the garage was opted for, to improve thermal efficiency and improve the extrnal apperance and impact of the much larger dwelling. .
