A garden room extension to a 1930s bungalow on a steeply sloping site, also providing additional bedroom space and a new utility room. The architecture makes a clean break with the existing house, with fully glazed walls allowing views up into the garden and a new sheltered terrace.
The conversion of a timber framed out-building to a Listed farmhouse provided the property with a second sitting room, study and music room. The central section has a raised floor to avoid cutting the original sole plate, but brick infill to the timber frame has been removed to allow both new windows and interior views through the building. The project received a Special Mention in the Chiltern Design Awards of 2001.
A substantial "make-over" of a 1960s chalet bungalow on a sloping site. The challenge was to create a first floor large enough to accommodate four bedrooms (to complement the existing generally well proportioned rooms on the lower level) while at the same time upgrading the property throughout to provide alight and airy contemporary interior. The project was runner-up in its category in the Hertfordshire Association of Architects Awards 2003.
An extension to a Victorian semi-detached property in Berkhamsted, Hertfordshire, providing a kitchen and breakfast room. This project was featured in the Architect's Journal's annual review of Small Projects, and exhibited at the RIBA in London (1999). It was awarded a Commendation in the Hertfordshire Association of Architects Awards (2001).
This small addition to a Victorian house in St Albans has been built to the maximum volume allowable as “permitted development”, following limitations imposed by the planners on the form of any larger extension in its Conservation Area location. The zinc roof is kept low to maintain views of St Albans Abbey from the first floor living room, and tilted up towards the garden to allow the same views from the lower ground floor Kitchen. This project has been featured in The Times property section and was winner in its category in the Hertfordshire Association of Architects Awards 2006.
