Project: Modernization of a 1960s Bungalow in East Preston
Objective: The client approached us with the goal of transforming their dilapidated 1960s bungalow into a modern and functional home that would meet their evolving lifestyle needs. The key requirements included a double-height entrance, a glazed rear extension, and a partially covered outdoor dining area.
Design Concept: Our team approached the project with a vision of creating a harmonious balance between modern design and functionality. We designed a double-height entrance to create a grand and inviting first impression, and a glazed rear extension to bring in ample natural light and create a sense of openness and spaciousness.
The partially covered outdoor dining area was an essential aspect of the design, offering the clients a versatile and functional space for entertaining and relaxation. We carefully considered the orientation and layout of the dining area to ensure optimal use of natural light and maximize privacy.
Sustainable Design: We took a holistic approach to the design, incorporating sustainable design elements into the project. This included the use of energy-efficient materials such as high-performance windows, and the incorporation of passive solar heating and cooling strategies to reduce energy consumption.
Outcome: Our transformation of the 1960s bungalow in East Preston was a resounding success, resulting in a modern and functional home that exceeded the client's expectations. The double-height entrance, glazed rear extension, and partially covered outdoor dining area created a harmonious and inviting living space that was both beautiful and practical.
We are proud to have successfully transformed this aging structure into a modern and functional living space, showcasing the potential of an aging building through innovative design. Our team's expertise and attention to detail played a critical role in the success of this project, and we look forward to the opportunity to work on similar initiatives in the future.
