Architect-Designed Contemporary Mansion in Hampshire
Having worked for this client in a professional capacity on other projects, it was time to assist this family in creatin a unique home for them. The client purchased a rather tired and typical UK bungalow with your typical UPVC conservatory.
We were appointed to provide a unique solution to extend the home to create a solution for the husband and wife and two teenage boys and the family dog.
Achievement
A unique extension that saw the retention of the footprint of the original bungalow that increased the size of the dwelling ten fold.
As part of the architecture design the use of solids and open materials to differentiate the original bungalow and the new additions create this unique solution. The open elements utilising glass and canopies allow expansive views across the landscape. A contemporary bridge and double heighted glass walkway create a break between the old and new and provides dedicated views. A simple palette of materials helps to reinforce the architecture of the old and new.
We particular love that the teenage sons get there own comparable bedrooms and ensuites and the master suite comes with his and her changing areas a beautiful bathroom and a lounge area looking to the landscape beyond. The family areas have both the shared spaces and private spaces but the unique Judo and gym areas for the use of the family.
