A substantial extension allowed the creation of a generous open living, dining and kitchen space designed around the garden. A bespoke window was carefully positioned to frame long views across the garden, turning greenery into artwork.
An outdated rear conservatory was replaced with a contemporary single-storey extension. Traditional elements such as parquet flooring and panelling were retained and paired with modern features including a large picture window and bespoke TV joinery.
A large extension was built to create an open-plan lounge, kitchen and dining space, with an overhanging roof forming a shaded outdoor porch. An outdoor shower and bar complete the design, perfectly suited to relaxed Hove beach living.
The original rear conservatory felt dated, so a timber-clad extension was designed to replace it with a contemporary, light-filled space. Bi-folding doors open the interior to the patio, and a picture window frames a calm view of the garden, connecting the home to its outdoor setting.
This terrace house had no bathroom upstairs. The solution was to infill an existing external terrace, creating space for a contemporary bathroom. One way mirrored glass and opaque glazing were carefully specified to ensure privacy while still allowing framed views of the sky.
This extension transforms the rear of the home into a generous open plan kitchen, dining and living space. An exposed brick wall is subtly illuminated to add texture and warmth. A large rooflight floods the room with daylight, complemented by a bespoke feature light fitting.
The ground floor was extended and opened up to form one generous kitchen, dining and living area overlooking the garden. Materiality was key. The client wanted natural, organic elements woven into the design, so stacked stone, a grass roof and timber decking were incorporated.

The entrance and staircase were completely redesigned to bring openness and brightness to the space. The new staircase, handrail, and balustrade were crafted in steel and glass to create a lightweight, contemporary feel. Natural light floods the space now.
The only access to the garden was via a fire escape, with no real place to pause or enjoy the view. The fire escape was removed and replaced with a traditionally detailed balcony, canopy and new steps leading down to the rear garden, designed specifically for the raised ground floor flat.
"We used Steve for a full house renovation and we couldn’t recommend him enough. No nonsense, great design, extremely flexible. He solved every issue without hesitation, and extremely cleverly. Was great with us and our builders (who recommend him to their clients all the time, as they love working with him). Highly highly recommend."
