These three projects illustrate a range of simple alterations and extension to property that were not quick or simple to procure but on completion proved highly effective for the owners. In common to each scheme were demanding clients who requested much needed space additions and spacial improvement and had a strong vision for their home. Over several weeks we developed and discussed a series of design options that would achieve their vision. Although not always the outcome that was expected at the start the changes were considered so positive the clients now say they live in the new part of the house more than the original.
