Stable conversion to private house.

CHESTERFIELD.

Conversion of an existing stable building in Chesterfield into a large private dwelling. The clients goal was to achieve a large predominantly single storey house which was to be contemporary in appearance whilst retaining the character of the existing stable building. Proposals include a large open plan kitchen, living and dining space, with a separate snug, and four bedrooms all with en-suite bathroom facilities amongst other ancillary and secondary accommodation.

Primary living spaces have been positioned to the front of the property where they benefit from expansive floor to ceiling glazed areas with dramatic views over the fields and countryside beyond. To the rear, more intimate rooms are formed with smaller windows backing on to a manege owned by the client and run in tandem alongside their new stable block adjacent to this property.

Externally the scheme utilises the structure and form of the existing stable building, other than a small section which is to receive a new flat roof. The entirety of the scheme is to be clad in a mixture of vertical charred/blackened hardwood timber cladding, and natural cedar timber cladding. Large punched window openings are to be formed within the existing building fabric, with slimline dark aluminium frames used to either blend into and complement, or contrast with the new cladding depending on which type of timber they are set within.

Private house extension to barn.

WAKEFIELD.

A predominantly single storey annexe extension to an agricultural barn/stable building to provide a new dwelling for the clients, adjacent to their existing house and overlooking their carefully tendered gardens. The new house will provide approximately 200 sqm of internal floor area, with a large open plan kitchen living and dinging space, and a generous master bedroom suite. A small secondary bedroom and additional storage areas are located within a small first floor space. Externally the building is to be clad in vertical charred hardwood timber cladding with large areas of floor to ceiling glazing.

Annexe extension to private house.

SHEFFIELD.

A wheelchair accessible ground floor annexe extension to a private house in Sheffield. The new annexe is to house the parents of one of the clients and has been designed and tailored specifically to their needs. The client will also benefit from additional space which is provided in the roof space of part of the extension which is accessed from the main house. As part of the works, the exterior appearance of the main house is to be refurbished to modernise this and tie the scheme together as a whole.
