Project Description
This project involved converting a single-family home into a modern building with 6 self-contained flats. The property underwent a back extension and a loft conversion to maximize its potential and accommodate the growing demand for residential units. The design and construction focused on creating spacious, independent living spaces while enhancing the property’s aesthetic appeal and functionality.
Scope of Work
Back Extension:
- A significant rear extension was added to the property to increase living space on the ground floor. This extension allowed for larger, more comfortable flats with increased natural light, providing residents with spacious living areas.
Loft Conversion:
• The attic space was fully converted into usable living areas, adding additional flats to the upper floors. This loft conversion utilized skylights and high ceilings to make the most of the available space, offering tenants unique and airy living environments.
Interior Layout and Design:
• The interior was carefully reconfigured to create 6 self-contained flats, each with separate kitchens, living areas, and bathrooms. The design maximized space usage while ensuring each unit felt open and livable.
• Modern finishes were incorporated, including high-quality kitchen fittings, contemporary bathrooms, and stylish flooring to meet the needs of today’s tenants.
Utility and Infrastructure Upgrades:
• All plumbing, electrical, and heating systems were upgraded to support the new multi-unit setup. Each flat was fitted with independent utilities for water, gas, and electricity, ensuring that each unit operates autonomously.
• Insulation and soundproofing were added throughout to ensure comfort and privacy for all residents.
Exterior and Landscaping:
• The back extension was designed to blend seamlessly with the existing structure while enhancing the building’s overall capacity for living space.
• Landscaping work was carried out to improve outdoor areas, ensuring access to the property was functional and that the communal spaces were aesthetically pleasing.
Key Features
6 Self-Contained Flats:
• Each flat includes its own kitchen, living area, and bathroom, providing tenants with a private and modern living environment.
Back Extension:
• Enlarging the property’s footprint and creating additional living space on the ground floor.
Loft Conversion:
• Adding valuable upper-level flats, with high ceilings and skylights, making the most of the existing structure.
Modern Interior Finishes:

Independent Utilities:
• Each flat is equipped with separate utilities, offering privacy and convenience for each tenant
Challenges Overcome
Space Management:
• Maximizing the available space in both the back extension and loft conversion required careful planning to ensure the flats were spacious and practical.
Structural Reinforcement:
• Strengthening the building’s structure to support the additional weight of the loft conversion and back extension while maintaining safety and stability.
Compliance with Regulations:
• Ensuring that the project adhered to all local building codes, including fire safety, soundproofing, and accessibility, while converting the property into multiple flats.
Outcome
The project successfully transformed a single-family home into a modern, multi-unit building consisting of 6 self-contained flats. The back extension and loft conversion added substantial living space, making the building highly desirable for tenants. The finished flats offer a contemporary living environment with excellent amenities, ensuring comfort and independence for all residents.
