Multiple extensions and loft conversion.
Multiple extensions and loft conversion including guest annex and oak framed orangery. This property has had several projects developed over a few years. Beginning with the loft conversion I added long linear dormers to retain the character of the roof and create a fully functioning separate annex space for visitors.
The second project was a simple extension which created a utility room and entrance porch, while also creating another visitor’s annex. The third project was for a double height gable ended oak framed orangery, which doubles up as an entertaining space and for growing a variety of plants. The orangery also has an under croft for plant, battery for the solar power, tools and additional utility space. All elements required negotiations with the planning authority to realise the clients wishes, whether under full planning applications or under permitted development rights.
Once the planning and construction drawings were complete on each project, the client project managed the build, with myself around for support and advice whenever needed. Oak frame supplied and installed by www.tradoak.com I am now moving on to the next project with this client and excited to see how we can develop the house further.
