Traditional House Extension.

A New Traditional House Extension in London.

An Edwardian traditional house extension in London.

Fingerprintstudios Architects in Portsmouth have been appointed to work on an existing Edwardian house in London. We are appointed to rationalise the ground floor and to create a new kitchen and family area whilst in keeping with the existing character and features of the existing dwelling. This extension will see the removal of an outdated poorly constructed single storey extension replaced with an in keeping more traditional approach. The extension will use matching brickwork, mortar and matching brick headers over the windows and doors.

Traditional design to the rear of the Edwardian house.

The traditional design looks at a new single storey, single ply membrane flat roof, behind a brickwork parapet roof is a traditional timber hidden pitched roof light. A set of timber bi-folding doors and a new external landscaped terrace provides a simple but effective in keeping traditional design to the rear of the Edwardian house.

New internal layout and living area.

The removal of the old single storey extension and new traditional house extension sees the layout of the ground floor change. The existing kitchen will be removed and will become a new living room/ snug area which moves into a new utility and downstairs toilet area, a large open plan dining area, U-shaped kitchen and kitchen island provides a functional and practical layout for the home.

Traditional Interior Design.

In keeping details to the existing Edwardian house will be carried through internally to create a seamless approach to the dwelling. Matching timber doors, plaster cornice, high Edwardian timber skirting, Edwardian Ironmongery and a timber roof light are major features of this interior design proposal and work as part of this traditional house extension. Further attention to details will be explored as part of the review of the interior design of this new traditional house extension and refurbishment as we develop the designs further.

Architecture Feasibility Study for a flint county home.

Fingerprintstudios architects have been preparing feasibility study to extend this historic flint house in Hampshire.

Benefits of an architecture feasibility study.

A feasibility study is a preliminary study undertaken at the very early stage of a project.  A feasibility investigates and evaluates the potential of a site or building to assess the opportunities and constraints to define a brief and direction for a development project.

It can include looking at a brief history of the site, the overall condition condition and significance of the building, as well as orientation of the site, key site features, vantage points, key views, access as well as the constraints and opportunities that will steer the development.  Options for the development are developed, compared, and a preferred option is established ahead of confirming a formal direction for the project.

Taking the time to set the foundation for any development provides a valuable starting point for any project and should be considered as an important stage for any project. Circumnavigating this stage may result in the development proposal not maximising its potential. We believe that a feasibility study ensures that a project design is better executed.

Why undertake a feasibility study?

Undertaking a feasibility study and assessing the practicality of a proposed architectural project, can save time and money by reviewing the project holistically by gathering evidence and information that will steer the project solution.

Architecture feasibility study for the flint house.

We have proactively been working in partnership with the client to prepare the feasibility for a two storey house extension for this existing country flint house in Hampshire. The property is set in a beautiful plot bound with mature trees and shrubs with a beautiful manicured lawn.

This feasibility study will review the potential for a two storey house extension and conclude the best approach in terms of size, position, materials and construction and will help to inform the design for the building.
