Replacement Dwelling
Same footprint as the original house. Ground plus first floor with open-plan kitchen, living and dining at its core.
Residential · New Build
Private Residence
Existing house demolished; a new, high-performance dwelling delivered on the same footprint with a calm, modern façade and flexible family-first plan.
Project Overview
Replacement Dwelling
Full replacement dwelling: demolition of the original structure and construction of a new, contemporary home within the original footprint.
The brief was to create generous social space, multiple family rooms, a cinema, and seven bedrooms with en-suite provision, while improving thermal performance and comfort throughout.
The outcome is a refined plan connecting daily life to garden decks, with discreet performance upgrades and clean detailing — anthracite aluminium openings, minimal balustrades, and standing-seam cladding.
7 Bedrooms with en-suites

Ground Floor
Kitchen
Open-plan kitchen and dining hub at the heart of the ground floor. The island anchors the space, with direct sight lines through to the garden decking beyond.
Ground Floor
Living Room
The main living space sits adjacent to the kitchen hub, with glazed doors opening directly onto the rear garden deck — bringing the outside in across all seasons.
Ground Floor
Family Room
A second family room provides a quieter breakout from the main living zone — flexible enough for everyday relaxation, homework, or a more informal sitting room.
Circulation
Staircase
A considered vertical connection linking both floors — clean geometry, glass balustrade at 1100 mm continuing the same specification used on the exterior terraces, and natural light drawing through the full height of the house.
First Floor
Principal Bedroom
Generous principal suite with walk-in wardrobe and dedicated en-suite bathroom. Juliet balcony doors open to views over the rear garden — a calm, private retreat at the top of the house.
First Floor
Guest Bedrooms
Six further bedrooms across both floors, each with private en-suite. The same quiet material palette runs throughout — neutral tones, considered joinery, and well-proportioned rooms.
Bathrooms
Guest En-Suites
Every bedroom has its own en-suite. Water-efficient fittings throughout — dual-flush WCs averaging ≤ 4.5 L and basin taps ≤ 6 L/min — with the same quality of finish carried through each room.
