I am often asked if we do work in conservation areas. The answer is yes, we have designed numerous extensions in conservation areas in Tring, Berkhamsted and the surrounding villages.

This is an example in Berkhamsted. The owners needed an extra bedroom after attempts to find a 4 bedroom house to move to nearby were exhausted.

The extension was designed over the existing converted garage and formed a fantastic new bedroom and shower room.

The extension in a prominent location compliments the original house and was very well received by the Conservation Officer.

It has been a while since we have added any projects to the page, we busy working on designs and projects for our valued clients!

Here is another project in the Grove area in Tring where we have carried out numerous projects. Already a very smart house, this front extension added a fantastic spacious and light entrance lobby, and study at ground floor and opened up the stair to create a much more welcoming and impressive entrance. At first floor a 5th bedroom was added whilst enlarging two existing bedrooms and providing another bathroom.

Externally the replacement of tile hanging with render and the duplication of the existing gable make for an impressive and up to date front elevation that truly enhances the property.

It's a while since I have posted any new projects, it's been a very busy year.

This is a slightly different and interesting project, the removal of an existing garage and its replacement with a new gym / Pilates suite. The building is designed to look similar to the original garage from the front but with a very different appearance from the rear with a glazed gable to flood the studio with light and give views over the open countryside to the rear.

Internally it features a vaulted roof over the work out areas with exposed trusses, a shower and change area, plant room and store and a mezzanine area for a work station.

I have posted picture of this extension before, however, while we are on the theme of kitchen / dining room extensions I though it was worth showing it again. This is a wrap around extension, this time with a lantern rooflight rather than a vaulted ceiling with rooflights. This type of extension works where it is not possible to achieve a minimum roof pitch for standard roof. This is also in the Tring Conservation Area and is designed to be sympathetic to the period.

Another kitchen and dining room extension. This one replaced a conservatory that was severely damaged by subsidence. We have considerable experience in dealing with major property insurance claims and assisted with this on behalf of our client.

As promised, here is the next kitchen / dining extension. This one to replace an aged conservatory. A different style this time with a dual pitch gable roof rather than mono-pitch roof. The patio doors from the kitchen and dining areas work fantastically with the patio area for alfresco dining.

We design more extensions to kitchens / dining rooms to form large open plan, light, modern family spaces than any other type. Over the next few days I will post a number of recently completed examples. Here's the first! This one had a few drainage and sewer issues to resolve.

Sometimes a bit of vision is required to see the potential in a property. This house had been extended and altered many times such that its functionality and appearance had suffered. This development transformed the house in to a large modern property with great appeal.

Another recently completed project in a Conservation Area. This 2 bedroom cottage has been sympathetically extended to provide an extra bedroom and a great open plan kitchen dining area. All this was done whilst retaining as much of the original features and architectural merit of the existing building.

Often it is the smaller extensions that make the most difference to a property. This single storey kitchen extension made a rather top heavy modern 3 bedroom house far more balanced with much improved living space at ground floor. Combined with the landscaping it made a really successful development.
