- Tickenham annex -

The owners of this contemporary home wanted to transform their attached double garage into a gym while exploring the potential to create additional living space above. By raising the roof, we were able to create a generous new bedroom and en-suite at first-floor level. 

Below, the redesigned ground floor provides a home gym, a secondary entrance and boot room (a game changer for this busy family), while retaining secure, externally accessible storage for bicycles and garden equipment. A large glazed opening connects the gym to a small private patio, bringing in natural light and allowing exercise to extend outdoors in warmer weather.

At the rear, a fully glazed dormer fills the new bedroom with natural light and frames the exceptional views across the surrounding fields. Carefully proportioned and deliberately understated, the new addition feels contemporary while remaining sympathetic to the scale and character of the existing house.
