Grand Designs magazine recently featured our Ducketts Mead project, a radical remodel and extension project designed by Clear Architects.
The case study-style article highlights how the rundown façade of this striking 1960s building was brought up to date.
Situated on a floodplain close to the River Stort, the bungalow sits on stilts. The dwelling was extended to establish a new kitchen-diner and the upstairs layout was reconfigured. A new photography studio was also added to the garden.
By re-jigging the layout of the upper storey, a new master bedroom, lounge and further sleeping quarters were created. This level now offers pleasant vistas across the green living roof that covers the new ground floor extension.
The new addition features a stone wall, which adds an attractive, textured design flourish to the structure. A glazed corner with an overhang provides another eye-catching architectural element.
