This project included the design and construction of:

• Full renovation to a garden outbuilding

• New ground floor WC + Kitchen

• Reconfigured stairs

• Creating of new multi-use spaces to 1st floor through 3x4m slanted extension

The renovation of a Victorian garage structure, this project aimed to transform a beautiful ancillary building into a space that can accommodate friends and family as a recreational outbuilding. FAB were employed to extend the first floor and to transform the interior into a two bedroom apartment. By replanning the staircase and over-sailing the 1st floor with a slanted slate-clad extension, we were able to create something both highly functional and beautiful at the end of our client’s garden.

KEY CHALLENGES:

• The planning officer had concerns over the impact of the roof extension to the neighbour’s garden. Through a series of subtle tweaks, the design was changed and planning was granted.
