Project Background

Clients had purchased a semi-detached property that required complete refurbishment as well as extending to suit their family needs. Budget £250K

Problems Faced by the Client 

Although the site had a generous rear garden, there was fairly limited space to the side. Any design needed to work with this and also limit the impact to the street scene.

The Tangent Space Solution

At concept design stage, we developed a larger footprint to the ground floor and one that was sensitive to the existing building at the first floor. This limited the impact to the street scene and enabled the brief requirements to be fully met and planning secured.      

The Result

The end result was a generous four-bedroom family home with fantastic family space to the ground floor linking directly to the large, rear garden. Off-street parking was provided to the front and the overall look of the house was updated to make for a desirable family home. We looked closely at the primary energy demand and took measures to reduce and better insulate the existing building fabric. The careful use of natural daylight has created a perfect family home, meeting the clients’ needs precisely.

The house is almost unrecognisable from the outdated property the family bought and they have loved growing into their new light and airy – and seasonally efficient – home.
