Extension and transformation from the rear

Project Overview

LOCATION: BERKSHIRE

BRIEF:

· The project transformed a small, dated dormer bungalow on a generous plot into a spacious contemporary family home, delivered as a self-build.

· The brief included a new garage with accommodation above and a fully accessible ground-floor master suite to future-proof the house.

· Gaining planning permission was challenging, as the proposal more than doubled the original property’s size, but it was approved first time.

· The main extension was positioned to the side to reduce overlooking from a neighbouring set-back property while improving privacy and garden quality.

· Planning approval was secured in 2019 through careful design development, supported by overshadowing diagrams, sustainability statements, and detailed justification.
