House extension and home remodelling
In the heart of prestigious Chelsea a mansard extension, basement, internal and external alterations transformed a this house into a sizeable family dwelling.
This is modern extension to a traditional cottage for an artist and sculptor with under floor ground source heating. The new garden room has extensive glazing from which to admire the view and the installations of original sculpture created by the owner Andrew Darke.
A stone cottage built on a south facing hillside. We have added three distinctive extensions, including an oak framed garden room, which takes advantage of the views across the valley. A theme of the design was to have playful contrasts of light and shade, both internally and externally.
A sympathetic timber extension to a stone built Victorian Gothic, grade 2 listed building, originally designed by Augustus Pugin's assistant, at the gate of the church at Highnam. Pugin himself designed the church at Highnam and is most famous for his designs for the Palace of Westminster.
This second floor property on Hackney's bustling Mare Street benefited from an unusually high ceiling allowing for a mezzanine loft conversion which has dramatically increased the usable space. The flat has been transformed into something spectacular.
This two storey extension in St Briavels, Gloucestershire complements the existing cottage and celebrates beautiful views of the surrounding landscape. The brief was to provide a ground floor study with a bedroom above. The internal spaces are uplifting in the way the two rooms benefit from both the morning and evening light.
Client Testimonial:
"Our house is an original 1700s stone cottage of which there are many in the St Briavels area. Extensions have been added at different stages of its life. The result is something of a hotch-potch to be honest. So commissioning a new extension to add a study for me – that would be spacious and quiet plus an attractive bedroom with small en-suite for the many friends and family who come to visit us required thought as to how it could ‘sit’ with the rest of the cottage. We are delighted with the result which not only provides us with the extra space we asked for, but has a sense of lightness and air about it. At the same time the extension ‘sits’ well in proportion with the rest of the house, echoing roof lines and windows. It rationalises the rest of the house - which used to be something of a railway carriage, room after room - but now is more balanced.
David Hurcombe took us through the process from conception to completion with a down-to-earth assurance that we appreciated, clear guidance born of solid experience and good advice when we required it."
all best wishes

A strong relationship with the garden has been achieved at this house in Failand, Bristol. The addition of a single storey garden room/orangery has created a generous and light open-plan living space.
This is an extension to a country house, which is grade 2 listed, to provide an indoor swimming pool and courtyard garden. The extension is in a neo-classical style; internally it has a colonnade around the pool; with a fine external elevation, finished in ashlar, facing a formal courtyard garden.
