A family home in Bristol was compromised by the existing floor layouts and an existing loft conversion with restricted headroom. The house did not provide for home working or a large enough garage. Planning consent has been gained for rebuilding the existing garage and extending upwards, integrating a new first floor level room within the home. At the same time a poorly performing conservatory has been removed to enlarge the ground floor garage space. At loft level, a large new dormer resolves the problems relating to head height and substantially improves the quality of the space.
An existing house in multiple occupation (HMO) in east Bristol has been substantially improved with multiple alterations to the internal layout and the addition of a large loft conversion. These works are complete and were carried out in conjunction with a team of client, designer and contractor who have now successfully worked together on similar projects a number of times.
Room Architectural Design was approached by an existing client for whom we have previously carried out works to commercial hospitality sector properties. The client had recently purchased a stone cottage on the edge of Tetbury, within the Cotswold District Council area, but the house featured a dated and poorly integrated single storey rear extension. Planning permission was gained to demolish the existing extension and replace it with a much larger, bespoke extension. The new extension provides side access to the home, a new ground floor shower room, new utility room and a substantially improved kitchen as well as a new family space relating to both the kitchen and the extensive garden.
Room Architectural Design were appointed to create a new bedroom space within a home in Bristol. This was achieved through converting the roof from a hipped end to the roof to a gable. Access to the new room is via a new stair which is located in a former storage space at first floor level. Additional space is created by the addition of a large rear dormer with roof windows to the front elevation providing both extra light and cross ventilation.
A certificate of lawfulness was gained for the proposed works, confirming that the design constitutes permitted development. This approach restricted the use of alternative external materials, which would have required full planning consent. However, full planning consent would not have been granted for the hip to gable element of the design, which was preferred by the owners of the home.
A fifty bedroom hotel on the site of a former school building carried out with 105 West Architects. The project was to be carried out in two stages and the first stage was close to going to tender before the advent of the Covid 19 pandemic.
The redevelopment of a former pub building with a three storey extension to the rear carried out with 105 West Architects. Provides accommodation for over 50 students as well as an office space. The project was seen through from feasibility study to completion of construction on site.
A contemporary extension to a family home in a unique rural location in North Somerset carried out with 105 West Architects. As the families children are growing, they needed more space and a living space with a better connection to the large garden. The existing property was converted to contain just bedroom and bathroom spaces, with the new extension providing an open plan living, kitchen and dining space with a shower room and separate utility space. Planning permission and building regulations approval was gained for the clients, with the extension then being self built.
Two separate extensions and extensive internal alterations were implemented to a large, but poorly arranged home carried out with 105 West Architects. A single storey contemporary extension flooded with natural light and providing a seamless transition to the large gardens, is located to the rear of the house. A more traditionally styled two storey linking extension connects the main house with the existing gym area. At first floor level the linking extension also includes a large master bedroom suite with a terrace. The extensions substantially increase the floor area of the house and dramatically improve the interaction between the interior space and the generous garden. A large, open plan living, kitchen and dining space are introduced. The project was seen through from planning to completion of construction on site.
Planning permission was gained with 105 West Architects for a modern three storey development of five flats on a site which contained a single family bungalow. Previously the site had a history of unsuccessful planning applications. Following the granting of planning permission, the owner sold the plot to a developer.
A new build house in a residential area of Bristol has been constructed on the site of a former builders yard. Work was carried out with 105 West Architects. The house was designed for the builder/developer himself and at the request of the owner, utilised a specific construction technique. After gaining planning permission and building regulations approval, the house was self built. The builder/developer now lives in the house himself.
The project was to gain planning permission and building regulations approval for a pub in a new build retail unit in the marina area of Portishead. Work was carried out with 105 West Architects. All approvals for a new frontage and internal layout were gained. The pub is in operation.
