This beautiful detached property in a rural setting was a great opportunity to develop a design that would maximise a traditional home for a growing family. Given the sensitivities to development that come with living in the countryside we were able to leverage the great impact of permitted development rights for our client in creating a very large rear extension and garage building. This effectively doubled the foot print available on the ground floor, to such an extent that we were able to use some of this for an internal courtyard with glazing and planting to bring a piece of nature into the heart of the home.
