Project Description
This residential transformation involved converting a traditional house into a modern, multi-unit property consisting of 6 self-contained flats. The project included a back extension and a loft conversion, providing additional living space while ensuring each flat was functional, stylish, and fully independent. The design focused on maximizing the building’s potential, offering spacious living areas and modern amenities for tenants.
Scope of Work
Back Extension:
• A substantial rear extension was added to increase the building’s footprint and create more living space on the lower floors. This extension provided essential room for additional flats and helped to optimize the overall design.
Loft Conversion:
• A full loft conversion was completed to add valuable upper-level living space. The loft area was transformed into additional flats, featuring large windows that bring in natural light and offer scenic views, enhancing the overall living experience.
Interior Layout and Design:
• The existing layout was restructured to create 6 self-contained flats, each equipped with separate living spaces, modern kitchens, and bathrooms. The design ensured that each unit was functional, private, and efficient, catering to the needs of tenants.
• Contemporary finishes were used throughout, including sleek kitchen and bathroom fittings, high-quality flooring, and optimized storage solutions.
Utility and Infrastructure Upgrades:
• The property’s plumbing, electrical, and heating systems were fully upgraded to meet the demands of the new multi-unit setup. Each flat was provided with independent utilities, ensuring convenience and privacy for each resident.
• Soundproofing and thermal insulation were also added to ensure a high level of comfort and energy efficiency.
Exterior and Landscaping:
• The back extension was designed to seamlessly blend with the original structure, maintaining the property’s aesthetic appeal while enhancing its capacity for multiple units.
• Landscaping was undertaken to improve the rear garden area, providing communal outdoor space that complements the modern living arrangements.
Key Features
6 Self-Contained Flats:
• Each flat includes its own living room, kitchen, and bathroom, offering modern and independent living spaces.
Back Extension:
• Expanding the ground floor to create larger flats and improve the building’s overall functionality.
Loft Conversion:
• Adding upper-level flats with skylights and high ceilings, maximizing the property’s potential.
Contemporary Finishes:
• Modern, high-quality fixtures and finishes throughout the flats, making them desirable for today’s tenants.
Independent Utilities:
• Each flat is equipped with separate utilities (gas, water, electricity), providing independence and comfort for all residents.
Challenges Overcome
Space Optimization:
• Transforming the property into 6 flats while maintaining spacious, liveable areas required careful planning, particularly in integrating the loft and back extension with the original layout.
Structural Adjustments:
• Reinforcing the building to accommodate the added weight and space of the extension and loft conversion, while preserving its structural integrity.
Regulatory Compliance:
• Ensuring the project met all building codes and regulations, including fire safety, accessibility, and utilities for multi-unit dwellings.
Outcome
The project successfully transformed a single-family home into a modern, multi-unit building comprising 6 self-contained flats, each offering stylish and functional living spaces. The back extension and loft conversion provided much-needed additional space, optimizing the building’s value and potential. The newly created flats are ideal for rental purposes, providing contemporary, private, and well-equipped homes for tenants.
