Status: Stage 3 (Building Regulations - Planning Approved).

Redesign of a residential home for a young family in south Manchester. The property already had good access to a south facing garden, however the current kitchen and living arrangement did not maximise the flow of the ground floor space nor did it encourage connectivity to outside.

With a clear understanding as to how the family used their home, the project aimed to deliver a new spatial layout that met their requirements for more open plan living in a lighter, more welcoming space. The introduction of two separate sets of bi-fold doors allows the rear of the house to become part of the garden.

A side extension enables further flexibility to the rooms upstairs, which have been reconfigured to allow space for an additional bedroom. The project has been designed to allow for a future loft conversion should the client wish to explore this further.
