Designed with purpose, finished with character.

A contemporary family home rooted in timeless craftsmanship.

Location: Berkhamsted, Hertfordshire
Status: Completed (2025)
Type: Residential Extension & Refurbishment
Scope: Part single and part two-storey rear extension, internal remodelling, landscaping
Services: Architecture, Planning, Technical Design

A comprehensive refurbishment and extension featuring a part single, part two-storey rear addition with carefully considered façade alterations. New window openings maximise natural light and strengthen the connection to the landscaped garden, while brick slip detailing adds texture and depth to the exterior.

Inside, bespoke shaker-style joinery and refined finishes create a warm, timeless aesthetic. The garden complements the architecture with herringbone brick paving, a contemporary water feature, and thoughtfully designed planting, extending the home’s living spaces outdoors.
