I was delighted to be asked by Studio IDR Architects in Belfast to assist with this scheme and I'm currently preparing construction drawings on their behalf for Building Control Approval.
The proposal includes a double-storey rear extension, and single-storey extensions to each side of a detached bungalow in County Down with the double-storey rear extension sitting at a lower level to the rest of the existing house.
The rear extension takes the form of a decorated box, sitting within a large garden, sheltered by existing mature foliage and trees. Internally an extended dining and living area takes full advantage of the gardens, while a generous new master bedroom suite has been created on the first floor.
On the west side, a new single-storey extension will be placed on the footprint of the existing bungalow, housing a new utility and pantry area.
On the east side, a new single-storey extension in the form of an orangery has extended the kitchen internally, and created a new breakfast / sitting area.
