Hampshire home transformation – Listed building renovation and extension
B
eautiful house in amazing grounds, our interior designer client had done an amazing job with most of the existing house but the property lacked a large social kitchen family room. With a big family and dogs they were also missing a functional and practical utility boot room space.
Inspired by a charming brick and flint potting shed in the garden we recreated this to provide the boot room and utility space, joining it to the house with an orangery style extension that brings in loads of light.
Essential to the scheme was to create a large outdoor terrace for summer entertaining. Set against the backdrop of the local church and softened with beautiful planting this provides the perfect English summer setting.
Our client has added their own personality with an eclectric interior scheme that is colourful, fun and bursting with personality.
Location: Oakley, Hampshire
Materials: Traditional brick and flint with joinery made timber windows and zinc canopies were selected to provide a sympathetic and contextual extension that adds it’s own character and helps to transition from the formality of the main house out to the more informal landscape spaces.
Clever aspects: Drawing inspiration from existing structures to create something that feels as if it has always been there. Adding functional and useful boot room and utility make the house work for a busy family.
Friends on the project: LB Design, Inara Home Imagery
We love: The personality that abounds on the project and the way it feels as if it has been part of the landscape forever.
Sustainability/Eco elements: We replaced dilapidated and poorly built parts of the house with well insulated extensions and quality glazing. the roof lanterns exhaust hot air creating a natural through flow of air on a hot day.
