Oldfield Road - BR1

This elegant Arts and Crafts-style home in Bickley had undergone multiple extensions over the years, resulting in a disjointed layout with poorly connected spaces. The existing rear extension was uncomfortable—cold in winter, overly warm in summer—and lacked a seamless flow to the kitchen, living areas, and garden.

The clients sought to transform this space into a welcoming family hub at the heart of their home. The new contemporary extension achieves this vision with a carefully zoned layout for seating, cooking, and dining, all seamlessly connected to the original house and the beautifully landscaped garden. Expanses of slimline glazing create a light-filled environment, while excellent thermal performance is ensured through underfloor heating and a sustainable green sedum roof.

This sensitive yet striking addition enhances the character of the original home, delivering a harmonious blend of heritage and modern living.
