A residential project in Chilwell, Nottinghamshire, involving the complete renovation and extension of a detached family home. This scheme has been carefully designed to transform the existing property into a modern, spacious, and energy-efficient home that responds to the needs of contemporary family living.

This includes a two-storey side extension that significantly enhances the internal layout of the house. At first-floor level, the extension provides a new bedroom and a dedicated home office, creating flexible accommodation suitable for growing families and hybrid working. At ground-floor level, the new structure accommodates a generous family room alongside an external store and utility space, improving both usability and day-to-day practicality.

To the front of the property, a single-storey extension with a lean-to roof introduces a new porch and canopy over the existing front door. This subtle addition improves the entrance while providing a covered area over the entrance door.

At the rear, a new single-storey extension forms the heart of the home. Designed with a lean-to roof and integrated rooflights, this space will house a bright and spacious open-plan kitchen, living, and dining area, allowing natural light to flood into the interior and creating a strong visual and physical connection with the garden.

The project also includes a flat-roof dormer loft conversion, unlocking the full potential of the roof space. This level will provide a new master bedroom complete with an ensuite and dressing room, delivering a private and comfortable retreat within the home.

Alongside the new extensions, the existing property has had a full renovation, including the replacement of all windows and doors and the installation of a new roof. These upgrades ensure the original building performs to the same standard as the newly constructed elements.

Sustainability is a key driver of the design. The home will incorporate solar panels and an air source heat pump, supported by upgraded insulation throughout the building fabric. These measures will significantly improve the property’s thermal performance, reduce energy consumption, and future-proof the home for years to come.

This project represents a comprehensive and considered approach to residential design, combining generous new living spaces with energy-efficient technologies to create a high-quality, contemporary family home.
