Drab 1970’s houses make great candidates for transformation and for adding bold extensions. In this design I proposed charred timber cladding material to the extension structure. The new extension contains a kitchen diner and the master bedroom. Bespoke concept designs from £150.

Garden rooms are great to replace too-hot-in-summer, too-cold-in-winter conservatories. Make sure they make the most of vistas, connect to and enhance existing rooms and give a bit of wow factor.

This design is for a client who had a standalone garage on their property, bordered on 3 sides by neighbouring gardens. Despite the restrictive size, I squeezed in a tiny 1-bedroom house by digging down slightly to keep the height to a minimum. Commissions from £150. Nationwide.

...and inside the proposed roof extension... a private living space with a folded roof form designed to sit below sight-lines from the street. Commission me to do an architectural design study for you at https://t.co/V0dP1DTogJ . Prices from £150. Nationwide.

These dormers I designed for a roof-space apartment in the Alps are subservient enough to be acceptable from a heritage point of view, but large enough to house a booth dining space inside. Commission me to do an architectural design study for you at https://t.co/V0dP1EaZFj.

Small roof dormers can be used for amazing window seats or bath niches. This design was for a client with a period building in the Dordogne & only small dormers were allowed. Commission me to do an architectural design study for you at https://t.co/V0dP1EaZFj. Prices from £150.

...here's my plan visual of the period thatched house extension. The extension is simple & barn-like with vaulted ceilings and floor to ceiling windows - a nice contrast to the low-beamed & darker main house. The glazed link helps provide a sun-trap herb garden off the kitchen...

Consider what you can do with your roof space. Here is a design I did for a client in London - extra living & terrace space but not even visible from street level. Commission me to do an architectural design study for you at https://t.co/V0dP1EaZFj. Prices from £150. Nationwide.

Split-level designs work well for sloping sites. In this design I used a simple split-level to form an AirBnB annexe to a house - 1 level at the front and 2 levels at the rear. Commission me to do an architectural design study for you at https://t.co/V0dP1EaZFj. Prices from £150.

Thatched and period properties can be tricky to extend sensitively. I designed a barn-style outbuilding linked to the old house via a glazed corridor. Commission me to do an architectural design study for you at https://t.co/V0dP1EaZFj. Prices from £150. Nationwide.

Basements cost around twice as much as ordinary extensions so don’t let them be dark spaces. In this design I show how to get light into the basement using split-level & angular lightwells plus glazed internal partitions. Commission me to do an architectural design study for you.
