A complete rethinking of a four-bedroom family home in Bagshot, Surrey.

For the Highclere Project, we refurbished and extended a detached house on a generous corner plot, creating a home that feels brighter, more connected and better suited to contemporary family life.

The rear extension combines two-storey and single-storey elements, introducing a new family room alongside an open-plan kitchen and dining space that opens directly onto the garden. Large corner sliding doors bring generous natural light into the heart of the home and strengthen the connection between inside and out.

Upstairs, we re-planned the existing layout to create a generous master bedroom suite, enlarge two further bedrooms and improve the family bathroom.

Our approach was to introduce a distinctly contemporary layer without competing with the original house. Vertical timber boarding and carefully considered glazing give the extension a clean, understated character, allowing the existing architecture to remain prominent.

A transformation focused on light, space and connection - creating a modern family home while respecting the character of the original property.

A sensitive transformation of an Edwardian home, creating space for modern family life while preserving the character that makes it special.

At Morlan Court, our brief was to create a generous family kitchen and dining space, improve the internal layout and introduce a new entrance lobby and downstairs shower room.

We designed a full-width rear extension overlooking a new terrace and garden, creating a bright, connected space at the heart of the home. By extending the central gable above the new extension, we also created additional space and natural light for the rear bedroom.

A new side entrance lobby makes use of the original feature entrance door, with a shower room positioned behind it. We also introduced a practical side entrance into the utility room — an important detail for the family's much-loved dogs.

Throughout the renovation, we took care to retain and restore original features, including the fireplaces and stained glass windows, allowing the Edwardian character of the house to remain at the centre of the design.

For us, this project was about finding the balance between preservation and progress — giving the home the space and functionality it needed for contemporary family life, whilst respecting its history.

From a 1920s two-bedroom bungalow to a five-bedroom contemporary family home — without losing the character of the original property.

For the Sandfields Project, our brief was to modernise the home internally, improve its layout and introduce contemporary living spaces, whilst carefully maintaining its external appearance.

We reconfigured the existing interior, selectively removing walls and introducing a rear extension to create a more open and connected ground floor. The approved design also introduced four bedrooms at first-floor level, with a generous master suite occupying the loft space, complete with an ensuite and walk-in wardrobe.

Our approach was to unlock the potential of the existing bungalow rather than erase its identity. By carefully balancing functionality, natural light and modern living requirements with the character of the original architecture, we transformed a modest 1920s bungalow into a spacious contemporary family home.

A project where the past remains visible, but the way the home is lived in is completely reimagined.

From a refused planning application to a home completely reimagined around family life.

At Kinrara in Camberley, our clients initially approached us with a simple brief: a larger kitchen, a utility room and a cloakroom. By spending time understanding how they wanted to live, we saw an opportunity to rethink the entire ground floor.

We designed a full-width, single-storey rear extension that transformed almost 60m² of the home into a light-filled kitchen, dining and living space. Large sliding doors open directly onto the garden, creating a seamless connection between inside and out.

The kitchen now sits at the heart of the home, with a generous island and views across the garden, flowing naturally into the dining and lounge areas.

For us, the success of this project wasn't simply about adding space. It was about creating a home that feels more open, connected and effortless to live in — from quiet morning coffees to weekends spent entertaining with the garden becoming an extension of the living space.

From a once fragmented layout to a home designed around modern family life.

For Willow Reach, we extended the property to create a flexible new space that can work as a guest bedroom with ensuite or as an additional living area. We also reimagined the kitchen, creating an open-plan living, kitchen and dining space that connects naturally with the garden.

Our aim was to improve not only the layout, but the way the home feels and functions — bringing in more natural light, strengthening the connection to the outdoors and creating spaces that can adapt to everyday life.

Alongside the extension, we carried out a comprehensive programme of repair, improvement and modernisation, bringing the entire house together with a cohesive architectural approach.

A thoughtful transformation of a much-loved home, designed for how our clients live today.

A thoughtful transformation of Oaktree, where a carefully considered contemporary extension sits comfortably alongside the character of the original home.

We replaced the existing lean-to garage with a new single-storey rear extension, creating a bright and generous kitchen and dining space with direct access to the garden. The crisp white render provides a deliberate contrast to the original brickwork, while large sliding glazed doors strengthen the connection between inside and out.

Internally, we reworked and refurbished the existing spaces to create a more cohesive flow throughout the home. Alongside the architectural changes, we carried out a comprehensive upgrade to the building, including full rewiring, improvements to the building fabric and the installation of an air source heat pump.

Our approach was simple: preserve what gives the original house its character, whilst introducing contemporary spaces that improve how the home is lived in.

A considered extension to an Edwardian home, designed to respect its heritage while supporting modern family life.

At Heathside, a five-bedroom detached home within the Woking conservation area, we designed a rear and side extension inspired by the character and proportions of the existing house.

The orangery-style extension introduces generous glazed openings and a roof light, bringing natural light deep into the home and creating a stronger connection with the south-facing garden. We also relocated the existing rear garage to the front, creating space for a flexible new room that can adapt as a study, guest room, gym or playroom.

Our approach was to create a clear relationship between old and new — retaining the elegance and historic character of Heathside while introducing contemporary spaces that feel natural within the existing home.

A sensitive transformation, rooted in the architecture of its past and designed for the way the family lives today.

Wharf Cottage | A Thoughtful Transformation

We approached the transformation of Wharf Cottage by carefully balancing its 1870s character with the needs of a growing modern family.

Our design creates a generous open-plan kitchen, dining and family space, opening directly onto the garden through new patio doors. A first-floor extension, finished in white render with a tiled roof, sits comfortably alongside the original cottage, while the new zinc-clad entrance provides a contemporary contrast and a clear visual connection through the home to the garden beyond.

At the rear, a modest extension creates a new garden-facing sitting room, allowing the existing sitting room to become a dedicated study.

From the refined zinc detailing to the reconfigured garage and driveway, every element was considered to improve both the appearance and functionality of the home.

A sensitive extension that respects the past while creating a home for modern family life.
