Project no.5
Following a recommendation and referral from a client, DMAC Architects were commissioned to explore options for extending and reconfiguring the rear of this newly acquired house.
​
The existing playroom and garage outbuilding were poorly constructed, so we also looked to rebuild these elements as an integrated part of the main house.
​
Now the new and improved layout is filled with plenty of natural light with views out over the garden. It allows the kitchen to become a combined open-plan: kitchen, diner and family room that is now a fantastic place to bring the whole family together within the one space. It is now a warm and welcoming space that has plenty of space to entertain.
We also had a lot of fun creating a hidden door within the bookcase that leads through to a secret games room for the children. Something that will be a great talking point, and a unique design feature for this house. We've also managed to utilise the roof space above the games room to create a home office. Something that every home now needs.
Upstairs we've created an enlarged master bedroom, plus an additional bedroom for their teenage daughter. Both rooms have increased storage / wardrobe space and en-suite bathrooms. A 'must have' for a growing family! They also now benefit from improved views out over their rear garden and woodland beyond.
The client can't wait for the construction phase to begin later this year.
