House Exterior with a Tiled Roof Ideas and Designs
This project was featured in our news blog earlier this year, as a great example of green home design. The old school house has become a light, open plan kitchen and family room. The rest of the house is newly built, and designed in a traditional style.
The beams and distinctive ceiling shape of the old school house have been kept in the new kitchen/family room.
The original school house bell, as well as the hanging tiles, have also been kept as a nod to the buildings former life.
This house demonstrates that you don't have to compromise on traditional style and character to achieve a contemporary, family home.

Runner up for ‘Best New Luxury Property or Conversion’ at the 2018 Surrey Property Awards, King George’s Cottage is a stunning house within the Surrey Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
Originally a converted collection of four 18th Century farm-workers cottages on Leith Hill, this property underwent significant expansion and modernisation to form a beautiful family home.
King George’s Cottage was built using local Leith Hill stone with traditional brick detailing in sympathy with its location and history.
A beautiful Oak framed orangery was added incorporating an ‘Encapsulated Glazing System’ which maximises the stunning views of the surrounding countryside.

EXTERIOR. Our clients had lived in this barn conversion for a number of years but had not got around to updating it. The layout was slightly awkward and the entrance to the property was not obvious. There were dark terracotta floor tiles and a large amount of pine throughout, which made the property very orange!
On the ground floor we remodelled the layout to create a clear entrance, large open plan kitchen-dining room, a utility room, boot room and small bathroom.
We then replaced the floor, decorated throughout and introduced a new colour palette and lighting scheme.
In the master bedroom on the first floor, walls and a mezzanine ceiling were removed to enable the ceiling height to be enjoyed. New bespoke cabinetry was installed and again a new lighting scheme and colour palette introduced.

The generous proportions of this Victorian Villa allowed us to create an expansive family home for our clients. We retained and enhanced the traditional features and proportions of the original house then modernised its jumble of rear extensions to create contemporary spaces connected to the garden.
A full basement was formed beneath the property to add luxurious health facilities; a tranquil spa, swimming pool, sauna, steam room and gym. The basement spaces are lit with daylight from generous traditional front light wells and crisp glass floor lights.
The neglected attic was converted and connected to the rest of the home to provide a private master suite with double bathroom, his and hers dressing rooms, lounge and bedroom.
