Planning permission has been obtained to replace this outbuilding in Footdee, Aberdeen.

Utilising the same footprint, and looking to maintain the character of the original building, the plan is to retain the frontage with the remainder demolished. A new, insulated, timber structure will be erected along with an insulated slab.

Internally a new Living space and Shower Room will be created, providing usable ancillary space to the main house.

Externally, the building will be clad with timber and new standing seam roof, with new timber framed windows, door and rooflights allowing light into the space.

Planning Permission and Building Warrant approval obtained for this house extension and replacement garage in the west end of Aberdeen.

The extension will create space for an open plan Kitchen/Dining/Family space, opening out to the garden, as well as a Master Bedroom Suite.

A mixture of timber cladding and black aluminium windows and doors sit alongside granite piers, formed from the downtakings. This helps to provide a modern aesthetic, while being sustainable in the re-use and specification of materials.

We love working with existing buildings and recently we've been busy looking into layout options for a Church Conversion.

Working in plan and section to create workable solutions.

Converting the space to provide the required accommodation while maintaining the feel of a church.

Looking into options to covert the building into a single dwelling or split into 2 dwellings.

Adding insulation and upgrading the fabric of the original building.

Would you like to live in a church conversion?

Challenging sites sometimes brings the best out of a project.

In this case, the existing Kitchen was dark and the garden was overlooked by surrounding properties. The solution was to demolish the existing Kitchen and create a larger extension, orientating views towards the garden, framed by large bi-folding doors.

The external screening provides further privacy and a place to sit and enjoy the house and garden.

A recently completed house extension, demonstrating how a modest extension can help to create a stunning open plan space.

Details such as the beautiful timber cladding and the corner window help to elevate the project...even on a rainy day!
