St Alban’s Road

Our clients requested a full refurbishment of their three-bedroom bungalow prior to moving in, along with the addition of a new single-storey rear extension. The goal was to create a modern, accessible home that would meet both their current and future needs. The newly designed extension and internal reconfiguration introduced several significant improvements.

These included a spacious master bedroom with a dedicated dressing room, a comfortable guest bedroom, a fully accessible bathroom, a utility room, and an expansive open-plan kitchen, living, and family area. A key element of the redesign was ensuring level access throughout the home to support full wheelchair accessibility. The thoughtful re-plan prioritises ease of movement and functionality while still offering all the conveniences and elegance of contemporary living.

One of the main challenges faced was the addition of a 6-metre rear extension, which required careful navigation of planning constraints, especially as the build reached the site boundary. Despite these limitations, the design made the most of the available space without compromising on comfort or flow. These constraints ultimately guided a clever division of space within the open-plan living area. The introduction of roof windows allowed natural daylight to pour into the central areas of the home, enhancing the sense of space and creating a bright, welcoming environment throughout.
