👨👩👧👦 Built for a Growing Family | Shiplake, Oxfordshire📍
Every successful extension starts long before the first brick is laid.
For this family home in Shiplake, our journey looked like this:
📍 Understanding the Brief
We worked closely with the homeowners to understand how they wanted to live, creating a design that would support their growing family for years to come.
📐 Planning & Feasibility Study
After carrying out a detailed planning and feasibility study, we developed a design that maximised the property’s potential while remaining sympathetic to its surroundings and planning constraints.
🏡 Creating More Space
A contemporary double-storey rear extension unlocked significant additional living space across both floors, transforming the way the home functions.
🍽️ The Heart of the Home
The ground floor was opened up to create a much larger kitchen and family space, perfect for everyday living, entertaining and spending time together.
🎮 Flexible Living
A dedicated leisure room and indoor gym were introduced, giving the family versatile spaces that can evolve with their lifestyle.
🌿 Bringing the Outdoors In
Large bi-fold doors open onto a new social patio area, creating a seamless connection between the home and garden.
🛏️ A Better First Floor
Upstairs, the extension allowed for larger bedrooms throughout, together with a spacious new principal en-suite, providing greater comfort and functionality.
⚡ Designed for the Future
Solar panels were incorporated into the new roof design, helping improve the home’s energy efficiency, support a stronger EPC rating, reduce running costs and create a more sustainable home for years to come.
