Project Description
This ambitious residential project involved the transformation of a 3-bedroom house into a modern, high-quality building comprising 6 self-contained flats. The scope of work included a lateral and back extension, along with a double loft conversion, maximizing the property’s potential while ensuring a balance of privacy, comfort, and functional living spaces.
Scope of Work
Structural Modifications:
• Major reconfiguration of the existing 3-bedroom house to create six independent flats.
• Extensive lateral and rear extensions to expand the building footprint, providing additional living space and enhancing the building’s capacity for multiple units.
Double Loft Conversion:
• A full double loft conversion added valuable upper-level living space, accommodating two additional flats with panoramic views and natural light.
• Ensuring that the loft conversion met all building regulations and was optimized for space with modern amenities.
Interior Layout and Design:
• A thoughtful floor plan design to create six self-contained flats, each with separate living areas, kitchens, and bathrooms, offering a variety of configurations to suit a wide range of potential tenants.
• High-quality finishes including contemporary kitchens, sleek bathrooms, and luxury flooring to create desirable, modern living spaces.
Utility and Infrastructure Upgrades:
• Full upgrading of plumbing, electrical, and heating systems to cater to the increased number of units, ensuring independent utilities for each flat.
• Installation of soundproofing and insulation to maintain comfort, privacy, and efficiency across all flats.
Exterior and Landscaping:
• The lateral and back extensions were designed to blend seamlessly with the original structure, maintaining the aesthetic integrity of the building.
• Landscaping and outdoor areas were updated to improve access, functionality, and overall appeal.

Challenges Overcome
Space Optimization:
