๐Ÿก Building Regulations Package Complete โœ”๏ธ

Following the recent planning approval for this substantial two-storey side and rear extension, along with a single-storey rear extension in Elmswell, weโ€™ve now completed the detailed Building Regulations drawing package.

This is the stage where the vision truly starts to take shape, transforming approved concepts into a buildable design ready for construction.

The extension will deliver a significant amount of additional living space, including:

โœจ A stunning new master bedroom suite with a vaulted ceiling
โœจ A spacious open-plan kitchen and dining area
โœจ Enhanced family living spaces throughout
โœจ And much more...

Weโ€™re excited to see this project progress on site later this year, so keep an eye on our page for updates as the build gets underway. ๐Ÿ‘ทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

Swipe to see this stunning transformation ๐Ÿ‘€โžก๏ธ

What started as a dated property is now being completely reimagined into a bold, modern family home, blending clean contemporary design with the character of the original dwelling.

From the dramatic glazed gable entrance to the warm timber detailing and open, light-filled spaces, every part of this redesign has been carefully considered to create something truly special.

We love projects like this โ€” taking an existing home and unlocking its full potential while still respecting its roots.

Safe to say this one is going to be a showstopper once complete ๐Ÿ”ฅ

The weather is ๐Ÿ”ฅ and so are we. โœ…

Another exciting planning application submitted, this time for a new detached chalet-style self-build dwelling in Mepal.

This follows a previously successful approval for a detached 4-bedroom home at the front of the same site, and weโ€™re hoping to achieve another positive result. ๐Ÿ™Œ

With several site constraints to navigate, careful planning and thoughtful design were key throughout the process. The proposed family home takes inspiration from surrounding properties while making the most of a currently underutilised parcel of land.

Projects like this are a great reminder that unused or overlooked land can hold significant potential. ๐Ÿ‘€

Do you own land and wonder whether it could be developed? You could be sitting on untapped value.

We offer a free initial consultation and no-obligation quotation, guiding you through the planning and design process from concept to completion.

Goodbye derelict bungalow, hello stunning family home ๐Ÿ‘‹๐Ÿป

Weโ€™ve recently had the pleasure of designing this Fantastic family replacement family dwelling following the demolition of a derelict bungalow.

An interesting site which from the front appears quite modestโ€ฆuntil you get round to the rear. This sloping site sits within the heart of Sutton and even at ground level provides fantastic views over the surrounding landscape. We wanted to maximise these views from the get go.

From the from the dwelling appears to be a traditional small chalet style bungalow, but as you go round to the rear the sloping site allowed us to create a stunning two storey property. Complete with 2 sets of large bi folding doors, vaulted ceilings on both the ground floor and master bedroom, Juliet balcony and much much more.

This new 5 bedroom self build dwelling will hopefully be a welcome addition to the area that maximises the sites potential while giving the clients everything they wanted from their brief.

Recently submitted we are looking forward to this one progressing. Let us know what you think!

Some sketch options for a really exciting project we are currently working on โœ๏ธ the site is absolutely stunning, sitting on a huge plot and backing onto a river. The existing dwelling itself however needs some major modernisation throughout.

Pretty much every project we work on starts with some sketches before we put anything into cad. The clients wanted a couple of options to see what would work best for them.

We are progressing with option 1, what would you do! ๐Ÿค”

We are going to be sharing each stage of this project, from these initial sketches, to the formal design, planning, building regulation and construction. Itโ€™s going to be a really special one so keep an eye out!

Building Regulation drawing package completed and approved for this large two storey side extension, garage conversion, single storey rear extension and complete property overhaul in Bury St Edmundโ€™s. โœ…

Work is progressing well on site and we are looking forward to seeing this place take shape in the coming months, especially that amazing open plan Kitchen, Dining and Sitting area. ๐Ÿ‘ทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

We worked very closely with the clients and trusted contractors to ensure their entire brief was accomplished and we achieved everything they were looking for.

This project is just one of 28 extensions we are currently working on, each completely different and at different stages. ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿป

We canโ€™t wait to start sharing them with you. ๐Ÿซถ๐Ÿป

What a great little project this is! ๐Ÿš‚

After a bit of a battle with the council and some revisions we were able to secure planning approval and change of use of this historic railway carriage into a short term holiday let.

Sometimes applications donโ€™t go as you initially expect but itโ€™s how you react to the comments of the LPA that really define the application.

Initially we received comments stating the application was going to be refused but after discussions with the council we negotiated a way forward and weโ€™re still able to achieve a positive outcome/approval for the client.

This is going to be a really unique stay and we canโ€™t wait to spend a night or two when itโ€™s finished. ๐Ÿš‚

Looking to create your own unique stay? Feel free to reach out, we would be happy to help. ๐Ÿ˜Š
