Set overlooking Telegraph Woods, the proposal aimed to capture views of the woodland setting. Natural materials have been used so that the houses fit seamlessly into the landscape.

Design Progression
A Starting Point
Structurally sound but of poor design. Our initial discussion identified the potential of the plot.
Inital Sketch
The vision was set with a full-length extension, roof alterations and dormer loft extension.
Developed Plan
A two-bedroom bungalow to a 5 bedroom chalet bungalow with a linked lounge/kitchen.
Proposal discussion
Working together we adjusted the proposal to perfect the little details: kitchen, openings and fixtures.
Finalising Ideas
Moving from a sketch to a refined proposal, we were set to seek planning approval.
Looking to start your home renovation project?
Here are some questions to ask yourself:
What irritates you most about your home?
What problem are you looking to solve with your home renovation? Is your kitchen too small? Do you need more space? Is your layout working for you? When starting your home project it’s important to identify your ‘why’ and start from what doesn’t work in your existing property.
What do you enjoy most about your home?
Does one irritation overshadow aspects of your home that you enjoy? Part of the progress of designing your dream home is looking closer into how you use your home and identifying what non-negotiable spaces or functions have to remain. Ask yourself ‘Would you sacrifice this space for another?’
Are you and your partner on the same page?
What do you and your partner disagree on? It is important to explore differing views and needs early on in the design process. Once construction has started it becomes more challenging and more expensive to make changes.
How do you Want your new space to feel?
What would bring you the most joy in your new home and how? Does your home need to bring energy, calmness, or warmth? Do you want to create connections to a view or between rooms, or do you seek more privacy? It’s important to not to be distracted by how a space looks and question how it will make you feel.
What is your budget?
You should have a clear idea of how much you would like to spend and the time frame in which the project can be achieved. At the start, this may be a ballpark figure but as the design progresses we can work with a builder to establish an exact cost. At this stage, we can scale back the design or work out how to phase the project into budget-friendly stages.
