The transformation involved converting the formerly cold kitchen into a more practical and energy-efficient space. This was achieved by relocating the kitchen to the main house, providing a spacious area suitable for a large dining table. The main bedroom was moved to the private rear garden area, offering more privacy and reduced noise. To create a serene and sheltered atmosphere, privacy screens, potted plants and green roof were incorporated into the garden.

Preserving the building's original architecture, particularly the charming Corinthian design, was a priority in designing the extension. The exterior contrasts the blonde sandstone with zinc cladding, celebrating both the old and the new elements of the structure. Meticulous attention to detail in the metalwork complements the traditional construction, resulting in a polished finish that is both beautiful and durable. The use of triple-glazed sliding doors and a well-insulated timber structure ensures year-round comfort in the extension.

The bedroom is located at the rear of the extension, maximizing natural light and providing a direct connection to the garden. The hallway leading to the bedroom has been cleverly transformed into an ensuite and walk-through wardrobe, making efficient use of the available space. Thoughtfully positioned glazing allows for controlled privacy and light into the bedroom.
