Two / Double storey over-garage extension
design.
Architectural design drawings, planning permission
submission and structural engineering calculations / steel
reports.
Although a very subtle over-garage extension, this extension
provided a large master bedroom with ensuite & an extended
kitchen with separate utility, while retaining the current
garage. The design blends in perfectly with the current
house design, resulting in an attractive and valuable
addition to the house.

Two storey side extension & attached single garage - architectural
design drawings, planning permission submission and
structural engineering calculations / steel reports.
The left –hand image shows the existing house, with attached
garage, set back by several metres. The right had image
shows the garage has been replaced with a beautiful 2 storey
side extension, extending beyond the front wall of the
house, providing a greatly extended kitchen & new family
room to the ground floor, with additional bedrooms with
ensuites to the first floor.
A new garage has been
build attached to the side extension, utilising the unused
space to the side of the house.
Overall, the careful
design using a matching gable over the extension result in
an impressive façade and greatly increased floor area.

Two storey side extension & attached single garage - architectural
design drawings,
planning permission submission and structural engineering
calculations / steel reports.
The Proposed Side Elevation drawing shows the new extension
with the large gables projecting to the right and to the
left. Attached to this new side wall is the garage. The
right-hand image shows the main extension completed, with
the attached single garage still under construction.
When you compare the drawing to the actual built extension
(first floor window is very close to the garage roof), it
becomes apparent that accuracy and careful design are vital,
to ensure the build can progress in a trouble-free manner
and result in the extension being built in accordance with
the approved drawings.

Loft conversion to create home office - architectural
design drawings and
structural engineering calculations / steel
reports.
The left-hand picture is a familiar sight for many home-owners
with a modern home.... roof trusses occupying lots of space,
making the loft fit for storage only. However, with careful
design and structural engineering calculations, this loft can be
transformed into a useable and valuable room.

Bradley Stoke, Bristol. Loft conversion to create home office.
Mid-way through construction
of the loft conversion, the left-hand picture shows the trusses
still in place, with the
structural timber wall visible below the newly fitted Velux
window.
The end result is a warm and bright loft room, fit for many
uses. Although significantly smaller that most loft spaces, this
loft conversion was well suited to a home office.

Filton, Bristol.
Single storey side extension to provide study and extended
kitchen - architectural
design drawings and
structural engineering calculations / steel reports..
Although a good sized house, the kitchen space was very small.
After securing planning permission approval, this extension was
completed within eight weeks. This single storey extension
enabled the kitchen to be extended, by creating an opening in
the former external wall with the use of steel beams in
accordance with our structural engineering calculations. For
additional light, Velux windows were put to good use in the
kitchen roof. At the front of the extension, an additional
reception room was created.

Fishponds, Bristol.
Loft conversion to provide master
bedroom & ensuite - architectural
design drawings, building plans, construction details and
structural engineering calculations / steel reports.
A very typical loft conversion with roof windows to front
and rear, providing a bright, welcoming and valuable space.
This conversion resulted in a large master bedroom, with
sizeable ensuite, whilst still utilising the storage
capacity of the eaves loft space via the access hatches.
Looking at the loft space before the conversion, it is
amazing how the space has been transformed to a large, warm
and bright living area.

Downend, Bristol.
Single storey side & rear extension -
architectural design drawings, planning permission submission,
structural engineering calculations / steel reports &
building regulations submission / approval.
A beautiful open-plan kitchen and dining room, lit up with three
roof windows in a pitched/vaulted ceiling. The former rear wall
of the house has been removed, supported by a steel beam (hidden
within very discrete boxing). On the top-left, the boxed-in
steel supporting the former wall between the old kitchen and
dining room can just be seen. The impressive transformation of
this property was completed with gloss-white kitchen units and
solid-wood worktops, and neutral floor tiles.

Downend, Bristol. Single storey side & rear extension.
Single storey side & rear extension - architectural design
drawings, planning permission submission, structural engineering
calculations / steel reports & building regulations submission /
approval.
This large single storey rear/side extension resulted in a very
spacious open-plan kitchen-diner merged with the former dining
room and kitchen. A large utility room off the kitchen and a
wet-room/bathroom (small window shown on the right of this
picture) utilised the rear corner of the extension. The size of
the ground floor was increased by over 70%.

Winterbourne, Bristol.
Single storey side/rear extension and front porch -
architectural design drawings, planning permission submission,
structural engineering calculations / steel reports & building
regulations submission / approval.
This extension provided a large open-plan dining/lounge area in
the rear element of the extension, with a pitched/vaulted
ceiling incorporating large roof windows resulting in a bright
and airy living space. The side extension remained as a garage
with the roof extending forward and wrapping around the front of
the house to give an attractive porch/canopy over the garage and
front door. The remaining space between the garage & lounge was
well utilised as a shower/wet room. Overall, the ground floor
was more than doubled in size.

Single storey side/rear extension and front porch -
architectural design drawings, planning permission submission,
structural engineering calculations / steel reports & building
regulations submission / approval.
Merged from several photographs, hence slightly distorted, this
180° view shows the luxurious lounge/diner, looking towards the
former rear wall of the house. The former kitchen window and
rear door have become openings. More commonly in rear
extensions, the rear wall of the house is removed completely,
supported by a steel beam. The high ceiling gives a very grand
feel and roof windows result in a light and open living space.

Single storey side/rear extension and front porch -
architectural design drawings, planning permission submission,
structural engineering calculations / steel reports & building
regulations submission / approval.
The image on the left shows the open feel of the high
vaulted/pitched ceiling. The front of the house shows how the
extension wraps around the side and front, to form the canopy
over the garage door and front door… resulting in an attractive,
and practical, addition to this greatly extended home.

Chepstow, Monmouthshire.
Garage conversion, rear & side
extension, replacement kitchen - -
architectural design drawings, planning permission
submission and structural engineering calculations / steel
reports.
By converting the existing garage and designing a side
extension to blend with it, the resulting extension doubled
the ground floor space.
The stone-floored kitchen, with contrasting gloss-white
doors and beautiful black granite work surfaces is simply
stunning! The garage and side extension has become a
luxurious space, with a bedroom and ensuite to rival most 5*
hotels. Incorporated into the side extension is a cloakroom,
as elegant as the ensuite. The folding/sliding doors opening
onto the re-landscaped garden and pond complete this
first-class extension.

Two-storey over garage extension - architectural
design drawings, planning permission submission, structural
engineering calculations / steel reports & building
regulations submission/approval.
The existing & proposed elevation drawings show the accuracy
of the designs and the importance of in-keeping with the
existing house.
By building over the existing garage, and also widening the
house to utilise the side path, this very attractive
extension has produced a beautiful home.
The large gable with render & timber provide a stunning
façade to this large executive home blending seamlessly into
the exiting house. The additions were a greatly extended
kitchen/diner to the ground floor and an extravagantly
spacious new master bedroom with dressing room, walk-in
wardrobes and luxurious his ‘n’ her ensuite.
The first floor area has increased from 61 sq.m to 101 sq.m

Garage conversion & two-storey
over-garage extension - architectural
design drawings, planning permission submission, structural
engineering calculations / steel reports & building
regulations submission / approval.
Unlike most attached garages, this home benefited from a
significant space between the house and the garage. This
enabled a very wide extension, with clear benefits of
additional space at both ground & first floor. The garage
has been partly converted into a useful and valuable study.
At first floor, a large master was created, with impressive
ensuite and much sort-after walk-in wardrobe! The remaining
first floor was completely re-designed to make more
efficient use of space and to provide a more luxurious
family bathroom.
