Full flat renovation in Buckinghamshire - Philip & Andrew

Following work to their London flat, the clients engaged us to design and undertake a large renovation of their large 2 bed, 2 bathroom main home near Aylesbury. The detached property was in need of drastic renovation to rationalise the plan and improve the quality of fittings, finishes and appliances throughout.

The clients were keen to invest in renewable technologies and where practical reduce the energy consumption within the house so we enlisted the help of a specialist consultant early on in the process- to work out what would best suit the house, the area and the clients’ needs.
For renewables, we organised and installed: photovoltaic panels to the front central roof, which generate electricity for the house and an electric car charging point in the garage, an Air Source Heat Pump, connected to new low heat under floor heating (UFH) and cooling throughout the GF of the house. All are smart controlled for efficient and easy use.

We engaged an architect and worked with them to redesign elements of the house and get the appropriate permissions in place for the works.
Inside we redesigned and replaced the spiral staircase into a more practical solid set of stairs running from the basement to the mezzanine office area. To enhance the sense of space and improve natural light in the basement, we added a rooflight in the lounge floor and used glass balustrades throughout.

Throughout the house we installed mechanised blinds and smart Lutron lighting- allowing the clients to set scenes with one button at the light switches or from their phones remotely. The clients moved in in Summer 2021 with their lovely Airedale dog Dudley, who like his owners- loves his new home!
