What wasn’t clear, however, was whether that change would come in the form of a full new build or a large scale extension.
As the design process unfolded, it became clear that the most cost effective and future proof approach was to demolish the existing house and rebuild from the ground up. This decision opened the door to creating something truly special, a home that not only met our clients’ needs but also set a new design benchmark in the area.
The finished house has been widely admired, inspiring many other clients who hope to create something similar. Its success was also recognised formally when it was awarded House of the Year by the Harpenden Society.
A project that began with uncertainty has become one of our most celebrated transformations and a true reflection of what’s possible when design, ambition and trust come together.
