Case Study

St. Albans, Herts

Maximising Permitted Development

Another stunning home created by Mosaic Bespoke showcases our commitment to excellence and innovation. We utilised Permitted Development rights to their maximum, navigating the best path through planning permission with three separate applications. Some changes are subtle yet dramatic; the entire house was replaced except for the front and side walls. We dropped the floor level in the main house by a foot, incorporating underfloor heating throughout.

Transformative Design

The rear part of the house was lowered by a meter, creating a dramatic kitchen living area over 3.5 meters high. A steel beam spanning nearly 9 meters created a stunning open-plan space. Working closely with interior designer Henrietta, we crafted bespoke joinery throughout the house, incorporating floor-to-ceiling designs that have become the home's highlight. The laundry chute, a request from the owners, added significant convenience, eliminating the need to carry dirty laundry downstairs. The large utility room serves the house exceptionally well.

Luxurious Living Spaces

The home features five bedrooms and four bathrooms, including a popular guest suite on the second floor, providing visitors with their own space. Meticulous decorating brings the house to life, thanks to Henrietta’s attention to detail. An irrigation system supports the growth of stunning landscaping, creating a beautiful backdrop for this incredible home. The master bedroom is a true retreat, with ample space around the master bed and a luxurious dressing area. Custom wardrobes enhance the room, making it a delightful experience for the owners. Quality materials stand out throughout the home, with porcelain tiles in the kitchen and part of the ground floor, herringbone engineered wood flooring covering the underfloor heating, and top-quality carpets providing a plush feel underfoot. Extra insulation makes the home a joy to live in.

Modern Conveniences

Modern conveniences include a boiling water tap in the kitchen, double waste-level dishwasher drawers for added functionality, and a built-in coffee machine for freshly ground coffee every morning. Dual ovens provide valuable cooking space, and ample storage ensures a clutter-free living environment.
