Project info +
This stunning house in Charmouth began as a typical bungalow with an aging balcony and undercroft, blessed with a south-facing sloping site and stunning views of the coast, the clients wanted to transform the house into a home worthy of its position.
​
To create the open plan living space along the back of the house, we rotated the gable to run along the back wall, infilling the new smaller gables with glazing for extra daylight, then the balcony was rebuilt, with large glazed doors to connect the new space with the outdoors, and views beyond.
​
Downstairs the undercroft was brought into use, providing a useful laundry room and extra bedrooms with doors onto the lower patio. At the front of the house an entry lobby and hall to the back was created, to lead visitors straight to the new heart of the home.
