About this project
The project transforms a modest dwelling into a refined, contemporary home through a carefully balanced loft conversion and single storey extension. The design approach focuses on clarity, proportion, and material harmony, ensuring the new elements enhance rather than overpower the original structure.
A modern loft conversion and single‑storey extension designed to harmonize with the existing structure. The scheme introduces off‑white rendered panels and warm timber…
The loft conversion introduces a clean gable form that mirrors the existing roofline, maintaining visual continuity while adding usable upper‑floor space. The extension below follows the same disciplined geometry, creating a coherent architectural language across both levels. The interplay of solid and glazed surfaces establishes rhythm and balance, with large openings positioned to capture sunlight and garden views. Internally, the loft conversion creates bright, airy Master Bedroom with improved ceiling height and natural light penetration. The extension below opens the living spaces to the garden, forming a seamless indoor‑outdoor connection. The glazing strategy maximizes daylight while maintaining privacy through careful orientation and overhangs.
Off‑white render provides a crisp, neutral backdrop that contrasts elegantly with the warmth of the horizontal timber cladding. Brickwork at ground level anchors the building, referencing the original structure and grounding the composition in its rural setting.
