Alterations and Extensions completed overlooking the Golf Course

This 1920’s property has been completely rennovated throughout including extending the dormer at first floor and replacing the existing conservatory with a stunning extension offering a vaulted ceiling in the new open plan kitchen diner.  The existing property had already been altered over the years in a very ad hoc fashion including numerous flat roofs which were all in need of repair work, the proposal made was to unify the building once more by combining the living spaces and creating a more dynamic flow throughout the property.

Summers evening at a completed property in France

Planning permission granted for a new dwelling in the curtilage of a grade 2 listed building.

Planning permission granted for a new dwelling in the curtilage of a grade 2 listed  building  in historic chipping campden. MRT Architects were commissioned to work on the project after previous attempts by others were refused. Our approach was to accept that in this location a carefully designed vernacular building in the cotswold style would be more likely to be supported. It took a couple of redesigns, a further refusal and a new application but despite local opposition planning officers eventual reccommendation was approval and the committee voted to grant. This is a successful planning conclusion of a major redevelopment in the high street of this lovely town.

Steel Frame erected at Grade II listed Cottage

A glavernised exposed steel frame will support a new roof and a skyframe minimal glass wall extension to this Grade II listed cottage. The blend of old and new is a good way of making an architectural contribution to a 17th Century Cottage. The extension is clearly of our time and gives a new lease of life to this historic architecture.

The Skyframe sliding doors have now been installed and the interior design features the galvanised steel frame exposed between mdf panels alongside the original brick wall to remain exposed. The contemporary blend of new and old awaits the handleless kitchen which is to sit on a concrete tiled floor.
