Renovation of the existing 600m2 grade 2 listed detached house set within 30 acres, with the addition of a new 100m2 wing that contains a family room/kitchen on the upper level and a lower level indoor swimming pool complex. The Grade 2 listed coach house was converted into residential accommodation.

We opted for a rich colour palette of teals, blue greys and rosewood reds. Painting cabinetry and original shutters in tone on tone shades of Farrow & Ball. And adding organic touches via the live edge bedside tables, mid century bench at the end of the bed. And then adding layers of textural interest, clashing patterns and tactile fabrics to dress the super kingsize bed. Brass Bert Frank bedside pendant lights were hung low to enhance the impressive ceiling height and also to save crucial space for storage, allowing space for the couple and their growing family.

This is an example of a large contemporary galley kitchen/diner in Surrey with a built-in sink, shaker cabinets, blue cabinets, white splashback, ceramic splashback, stainless steel appliances, medium hardwood flooring, an island, brown floors and black worktops.

Glass beams were used within this project, which is a popular choice when designing extensions like this one as the beams offer minimal interruption to the views of the surrounding cityscape. Single track sliding door from minimal windows was used to create access to the balcony and allow the breezy air to flow through.

Nestled in the midst of the Cotswolds, this listed former rectory required a sensitive orangery design to complement the features of this heritage property and to successfully obtain the necessary planning consents. Simon Phipps, one of David Salisbury’s most experienced designers, has extensive experience of designing bespoke orangeries and garden rooms for these types of period buildings and was well placed to undertake this design brief. To provide some wider context, this Grade II* listed farmhouse is located within the Broadwell Conservation Area and the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). The host building was a three storey detached property of lime stone construction with a slate roof. The proposed orangery aimed to conserve the house as a family home for modern living, whilst preserving the ‘significance of the heritage asset.’ David Salisbury undertook and successfully obtained full planning and listed building consents for this project, as part of our comprehensive planning service. The farmhouse featured a more recent extension which housed an upgraded new kitchen, which was also renovated as part of the project. Although the orangery attaches solely to the more recent extension, it had to remain in keeping and subservient to the original listed property. The simple but classic design, with slim fascia and slim glazing pattern, added a bright reception room directly off the new kitchen. Two windows were blocked in as part of the works, but with the doors to the kitchen removed to create a permanent opening and with the glass lantern positioned directly above the opening with no rear ceiling, there is a dramatic increase in natural light into the new kitchen. Wide French doors on two elevations provide an ideal link with the gardens and entertaining area to the side. The footprint of the new extension measures approximately 6.2m wide by 4.2m deep, providing 26 square metres of additional luxurious living space, rounded off in our contemporary Mendip Grey paint finish. The before and after photos below help to illustrate just how the rear of this period property has been transformed, with the new orangery creating an exquisite link between the house and garden. This bespoke orangery has more than fulfilled the original design brief, providing an extension that preserves the fabric and significance of the owner’s lovely listed home whilst also conserving the property as a family home for future generations. Cotswolds based Cid Carr Interior Design, who specialise in the subtle transformation of heritage buildings for modern living, designed the interior space and acted as project liaison.

Design ideas for a contemporary living room in London.

This project comprises a contemporary ground floor lean-to extension and loft conversion to maximise the space of a 1930s house in Portsmouth. The ground floor extension creates an open plan kitchen and living space that successfully links with the existing living space. The extension floor was dropped to provide a level threshold, with bi-folding glazed doors offering strong indoor / outdoor connections and views of the south-facing garden. The lean-to extension creates additional space and roof windows offer additional light. The loft conversion with new tile clad dormers provides a master bedroom suite with ensuite facilities and custom-built wall units. A bespoke plywood staircase successfully links with the existing house. A sympathetic material palette of brick and slate was selected to complement the existing house. A contemporary high-end single-storey extension and loft conversion provide amenity values, garden views and much needed additional light. Photography by Dan Akerman Photography

Sliding doors and structural glass were used in conjunction to create an elegant glass box extension in Surrey. The minimalist framing achieved by the structural glass and slim framed sliding doors creates a beautiful ultra-modern conservatory style addition to homes. Glass box extensions bring homeowners closer to their garden and outdoor living spaces for the whole year as the glass box can be used throughout both the warm and colder months. The addition of sliding doors to glass boxes allows for both ventilation and access into the garden which provides a seamless connection between the indoor and outdoor spaces.
