This project saw the insertion of an additional floor to a house that sits directly behind the sea wall, creating increased living space on the first floor, and a master suite within the roof space. Design: NickFirst floor addition to a former bungalow created for one of our regular developer client's own property. The living space was moved into the new open plan upper floor with front windows and balcony giving fine sea views across Tankerton Slopes. When creating an 'upside down layout' such as this it is critically important to make the route to the living room (upstairs) dominant from the main entrance.

Design: NickConversion of a former stables into a new three bedroomed house in a secluded setting, close to the town centre. Design: NickDining area within a barn conversion where the open character of the original building was retained and enhanced with spaces flowing between lower ceilinged rooms and the full height central area. Design: NickA new stair in a converted building linking three floors of apartments providing a suitably impressive entrance to the re-imagined building. Design: NickA house on the back of the beach in an area where planning permission is no longer possible. This small bungalow was extended under permitted development rights, and then an enlarged roof added with first floor bedroom, following a planning appeal. the string of ground floor windows exhibit the roof form of the initial single storey extension. Design: NickA design orientated client wanted to add a first floor to the existing bungalow. The asymmetry arose party from the clients brief, and partly from the site. The new first floor living room opens onto the balcony, whose shape echoes that of the gable. Design: Nick
