A tired family house stripped back to its sound structure, replanned and refinished without extending its footprint.
Nothing was added to the outside of this house. The work was internal: partitions removed, openings enlarged, services replaced and the wet rooms rebuilt. What the plan gained in openness it kept in structure.
Design intent
The idea the project is built on.
The building was sound. What it needed was a better plan and honest finishes.
Spatial planning
How the plan is arranged.
The ground floor was reduced from six rooms to four, with the kitchen brought forward to the garden side.
Interior
Inside the building.
Existing brickwork was retained and left visible in the stair hall as a record of what the house had been.
Materials
What it is made of.
- Reclaimed brick
- Retained and repointed
- Cement tile
- Ground floor
- Painted MDF
- New joinery
Construction
Work was staged so the upper floor stayed habitable while the ground floor was rebuilt.
Outcome
Same footprint, an entirely different house to live in.
