Place to Host
Place to Grow
Anna and Aidan love hospitality and wanted to make space to grow their family. Their terraced house had three generous bedrooms but lacked good family and hosting space as ground floor rooms were dark and disjointed. Their priorities were to bring in natural light and create a big space for their family to thrive.
“Peter really listened to what was important to our family, and came back with ideas we’d not thought of, which we loved immediately. He was on hand to advise and tweak throughout the build, which was invaluable as we didn’t know what we were doing.
Now the work is finished, our lives are transformed, and we just love being in our amazing space. It has made it so easy and lovely to spend time together as a family as well as to host guests.
We love our spacious and light kitchen and spend all our time there, and it has made a huge difference creating individual spaces for both the kids in the loft extension as well as a lovely extra bathroom. We’re perfectly set up to live our life as we love to, with a lovely house full of people.”
ANNA
At the start of the project we focused on helping Aidan and Anna think through their project, developing several concepts for them to choose from, then obtained planning permission for the agreed plans.
They had a builder lined up, though we supported them in checking other options to ensure they had a competitive quote. After this they managed the build themselves, but they called us back in to help when the builder deviated from the plans. We built a convincing justification and secured a new planning permission despite the new proposals contravening local planning policy.
