The new housing is intended to help reinforce and grow the existing community. We carried out a feasibility study for the site, alongside the local Community Trust, consulting with local residents and reviewing what type of housing was most needed. We also conducted bat and bird surveys which led to the relocation of an existing bat colony.  </p>
<p>As part of the feasibility survey, we created our design for the vacant barns. We followed the client brief to design units that are spacious rather than cram in as many homes as possible. Included in the project, we proposed that the existing farmhouse and flats be upgraded and their building envelopes repaired. Grant funding has been approved to finance the project and we secured planning permission for our design. We are now awaiting the building warrant and a building contractor will be appointed to carry out the work. </div>

Bi-fold doors in the garden room opening out directly into the garden completed the transformation of the downstairs space. </p>
<p>The ground floor of the house is now the perfect place to relax, entertain guests or unwind on a lovely summers evening. With their house now the right way up, our clients have the space to suit their sociable lifestyle.</div>

				<div class="et_pb_text_inner">With the whole building altered by our plans, the project had to be tackled a section at a time. We agreed with the contactor that work should start with the construction of the rear extension. The original bungalow roof was removed in sections, allowing the construction of the new additional floor to take place. Finally, with the extension and additional floor ready, the new roof was added to the existing and extension wall heads. </p>
<p>The transformation of the original bungalow was completed in just four months and the house is almost unrecognisable today. It’s now a stunning three-bedroom house that provides a large, versatile, open-plan contemporary living space for the entire family.</div>

We recommended a one-and-a-half-storey house using a Structural Insulated Panel (SIP) prefabricated building system. A SIP building is affordable, quick to install and well insulated. We incorporated a curved roof into the design to reduce the ridge height of the building and to reduce its visual impact on the hilltop. The curved roof also provided the unique feature that the owners were looking for.</p>
