Blake Build

Howard Road

Project Overview

This project involved a double storey rear extension and full refurbishment of an existing family home on Howard Road. The aim was to increase the living space and improve natural light while updating the house internally and externally. As part of the works, the exterior was finished with a new silicone render to give the property a clean, durable finish.

Design Approach

The extension introduces two glazed gables which bring generous natural light into the new spaces and help connect the interior with the garden. Inside, the refurbishment included the installation of two new staircases and a bespoke balustrade, creating a simple focal point within the house and helping to organise the updated layout. Two new bathrooms were added, along with a dedicated piano room. Bespoke joinery was also incorporated throughout, including bookcase cabinetry and wall panelling.

Outcome

The result is a more spacious and light-filled home that has been carefully updated while retaining a calm and considered feel. The extension provides additional living space, while the new staircases, bespoke joinery and improved finishes give the house a refined and cohesive character.
