Residential Development

A residential development consisting of two 1 bed houses close to Guildford town centre. Formerly a disused commercial building with a small footprint and no outside space which presented many challenges from both a design and construction perspective. Being built on a slope meant the original structure had limited ceiling height on the ground floor and was also dark on the first floor as it only had windows on the gable ends. Our solution was to raise the roof and first floor on the right side of the building, to echo the traditional semi-detached houses nearby, whilst adding large dormers to the front and Velux windows to the rear. We’re really pleased with the finished result and proud to have achieved a modern design which blends well with the surrounding street scene whilst still respecting the original structure.

Stages completed: survey, design, planning, structural & project management of build.
