This recently completed project began with a fire and smoke damaged shell requiring full renovation. The roof was replaced and properly insulated and the top floor laid out with three bedrooms and a jack/jilltype shared/ensuite bathroom. The second floor below was incorporated master bedroom with ensuite bathroom and separate dressing room and utilised a reformed existing balcony to take advantage of the rear views. The first floor was extended by a small amount to rationalise the interior room shape and create a first floor reception room taking advantage of the available views. The ground floor was extended to the rear with a glass bay design forming a kitchen/diner, and semi-basement space in the front was deepened to form a cinema room, utility room and wine store. The roof of the extension was capped with a living sedum room, improving first floor views over and reducing storm water run-off while adding to the garden eco-system. The south facing extension is lit via a rooflight with solar reflecting glass to reduce heat transmission and the rear bay incorporates an electrically operated canopy for sunny days.
