A project that oversaw the adaptation of an already passed planning application previously handled by our team. Alterations of the internal layout and external aesthetics of the property were made to fully satisfy a new set of requirements. This included working with a complex set of existing site levels, creating accommodation across the site by linking the Garage with the main Dwelling. Full landscaping works were also produced to provide a workable solution for car parking with comfortable turning areas, accessible pedestrian routes up to the dwelling, and general Garden areas with planting beds to the rear and side. A concept scheme for a subterranean swimming pool was also developed to provide a feasible solution, should it be progressed further.
The property as a whole provides four sizeable double Bedrooms, two of which feature dedicated En-suites. A large open-plan Kitchen situated at the heart of the property leads through to an Orangery attached to the rear. A separate Lounge, Dining Room, Snug, Study, Utility feature at Ground floor, with two Cellar rooms below. The attached Garage accessed by a link incorporating a Plant and Boot Room, provides parking for two vehicles, with accommodation above accessed by a dedicated staircase.
The project was carried out to a strict time plan, ensuring submission of a new planning application was made before the expiry of an existing. Our team consulted with our Client each step of the way, ensuring each decision was made in line with their expectations and requirements.
SRA have designed new houses and building alterations on a number of projects we have tendered for and worked on over the past 20 years or so. Their plans and specifications are consistently clear and thorough and the architectural work in the construction phase has been excellent. I have found them to be one of the leading practices we have worked with throughout this time.
SRA Architecture have made so much difference – we now have six parking/pull-in spaces with our own filter lane taking the school traffic away from the lane, leaving it free for the residents and through traffic including emergency vehicles.
Niell provided me one of the most professional services I have received. The quality of service was outstanding, Niell answered the phone every time and answered any questions I had the same day whether by email or phone. The plot I was looking at was also of a beautiful design. I would confidently recommend anyone to use SRA Architecture.
I have worked with quite a few architectural practices over the years, I can honestly say SRA are in the top draw category of design companies. Their designs and drawings are of a really high standard. They are thorough and methodical. Their specifications leave little to doubt which means you can precisely quote for what you are being asked to build. […] Plus they are nice people, professional and easy to work for.
SRA Architecture worked for us on two different occasions & projects, a small one and a bigger scale project. They were advising, helpful, great at planning, very knowledgeable and always kept us updated. I would definitely recommend!
Highly recommend, Niell at SRA fully appreciated the need to balance the history of the house, conservation area requirements and modern living in the design for our renovation and extension requirements.
