Flat refurbishment in Hove
This project concerns the transformation of a flat on First Avenue in Hove. Interestingly the flat had been developed but it was felt by the new owners that many opportunities were missed. Given the high ceilings that have allowed a mezzanine floor to be installed we agreed that a more thoughtful and contemporary design could be achieved that would exceed our Client’s expectations. The process began with a site survey and the drawing of existing plans and key is the creation of a 3D computer model of the existing layout from which all the design proposals will be developed. Our Client commented that the 3D model of the exiting layout already helped him think about the opportunities the space offered.
Architects in Hove
Working as architects in Hove we have a great deal of experience in transforming tired and underdeveloped apartments both in Mansion blocks and houses subsequently divided into flats. At the point we took on this project we have four other similar apartment schemes in nearby streets. These include listed apartments and those in Conservation areas.
Summary
Extension and Refurbishment, Hastings
The success of this project is in the extent of the transformation. A house divided into two flats with existing run down rear extension and large external lightwell has been transformed into a distinctive home. A series of creative and contemporary spaces tailored to our Clients’ brief.
A Guide to Extensions in Hastings
The link between rear extension and garden beyond is very important. The views from the interior or into the garden should be considered as should the limited palette of materials in the garden in how the relate to the extension.
Examples of Extension Projects
Our portfolio is full of extensions of all size and types. The flow from the interior out into the garden is considered in all as is the related use of glass and glazing in the form of rooflights and glazed doors and how they connect the insider to the outside.
