Overview
Stuart and his family saw an opportunity to transform an old bungalow into their dream home. Struggling to find a house that fit their needs, they decided to build something fresh and create a bespoke home tailored to their lifestyle. We were the perfect partner for this journey, helping them navigate planning permission for the demolition of the existing bungalow and the construction of a new four-bedroom bespoke house.
This project involved reimagining a tired existing property into a contemporary, high-quality home while navigating both
that worked within the site’s suburban context and respected local character, without resorting to a generic or compromised design. To address this, we engaged early with planning consultants and the local authority to shape a design that met policy expectations and secured consent. On the technical side, integrating modern lines and large glazed elements required careful
, ensuring performance, durability, and buildability were upheld. By maintaining alignment between design intent, engineering requirements, and construction sequencing, we were able to deliver a revitalised home that elevates both its aesthetic and functional quality while meeting regulatory and client expectations.
