Deep refurbishment and reformulation of mid-century detached private residence. The rear has been opened up and extended with a green roofed glazed extension. The suspended timber ground floor has been removed entirely and replaced with a new polished concrete heated floor on insulated beam and block. The property has been extended at first floor level to create a new ensuite bedroom; all areas of the property have been refurbished. Key structural challenges included creating an expansive rear column free open plan living and kitchen area extending deep into the property whilst working within a limited floor plate thickness and without loosing ceiling height; enabling significant thermal improvements all whilst keeping the build cost in line with normal levels despite the transformational changes.
