This contemporary home has been reimagined by the design team at Des Ewing Residential Architects has recently been completed and shows how successful a renovation ca be.

Originally constructed in the 1990s, the existing house had begun to become outdated. In response to the client's desire for a modern and light-filled family home, the team at Des Ewing Residential Architects designed on a comprehensive scheme to breathe new life into the space.

Central to the renovation is the addition of a ground floor rear extension, created to become the heart of the home. This extension not only expands the living space but also introduces a covered terrace, perfect for outdoor relaxation. Equipped with an open fireplace and sleek black aluminium doors, the terrace can be enjoyed year-round, regardless of the weather.

The facade underwent a modern makeover, with the application of a light-coloured render breathing fresh vitality into the exterior aesthetic. The transformation continues with the replacement of all windows and doors with contemporary aluminium frames, infusing the property with a sleek and sophisticated edge.

Upstairs, dormer windows take centre stage, replacing skylights to flood the first-floor bedrooms and bathrooms with an abundance of natural light. This strategic design choice not only enhances the sense of space but also adds a touch of architectural flair to the upper level.
