The dwelling is in desperate need of a top down refurbishment and house extension as its in poor condition due to lack of maintenance and in some instances poor construction. Fingerprintstudios Architects and Interior Designers have prepared this architectural design proposal to create a contemporary home for future generations to enjoy whilst maximising the views over the Solent by a house extension and radical internal alterations.
The property is a cold and damp dwelling, suffering from poor construction and general DIY extensions to the property. The steep sloping topography adds great complexity to ensure that the proposal works with the landscape.

This Portsdown Hill House Extension has a beautiful elevated view which will need to be the focus of the extension and refurbishment.

The Portsdown Hill House Extension architectural and interior design solutions seeks to improve the airtightness of the home, the thermal efficiency of the dwelling by improving the U-values whilst generally improving all the services of the home to future proof the dwelling. This included a complete review of incoming gas, electricity and internet fibre locations to create a central hub. This allows the home to take advantage of smart home technologies to create a smart home taking in all the advantages of modern living.

A contemporary rear extension and complete internal and external design review will create a stunning contemporary home. This contemporary smart home will feature a clean and modern interior design with built in hidden storage walls hiding all the modern technologies of coffee machines, toasters and kettles.
The creation of a contemporary smart home is achieved by hard wiring the home with new fibre and data cabling throughout the home to take advantage of automated smart living.

This existing home has the advantage of views to the Solent and Spinnaker Tower, due to its hilltop location in Portchester, Portsmouth. Currently the dwelling takes little advantage of these views. This house extension, internal and external refurbishment will take this house and reinvent it as a new contemporary smart home taking advantage of this hilltop location.
