Elegant Alterations

A succession of bad design decisions had left this beautiful Edwardian property on the edge of Epping Forest, with inefficient internal spaces and a lack of natural light. Our contemporary new extension creates a super space and internal reconfiguration transforms the interior spaces throughout.

Overview

The new extension creats a super space with relocated kitchen, snug and dining area. Double glazed doors flood the space with natural light.

The first floor reconfiguration of the stair to the loft, results in a master dressing room sized appropriately for the property, a new en-suite to the spare bedroom and transformation of a further 2 bedrooms to now be dressing/en-suite inclusive. Existing roof dormers are converted into flat dormers to marry with the properties new addition, these are inset with balconies to make the most of the views of the landscaped garden and Epping Forest beyond.

The extension's form is not without reason; it is angled to follow the suns path to maximise morning and afternoon sunlight and with full width sliding glass doors creates a seamless indoor / outdoor space perfect for entertaining throughout the year.

‍

The angled openings also provide interest internally via different shadows created throughout the day.
