After studying the plans we received from our client it was clear that there was scope to   maximize and improve the use of available floor area. On the ground floor we made adjustments to the west wing which allowed us to better proportion the guest bedroom and also allowed the inclusion of an en-suite. On the first floor we extended the layout into the previously redundant roof voids to give an extra room and improve the proportion of the remaining rooms.

 

Revised Scheme

Below are the elevations and plans after undergoing the revision stage, various aspects of the design were discussed with the client and alterations made until we arrived at the final proposal. This would be the final design, ready to be worked up into detail drawings for building control approval.

After revision the elevations have undergone some minor changes from the original drawing, but the style is still consistent with the original. Roof-lights have been added to the east elevation to give light and an escape route from an additional first floor room. The dormer cheeks have been widened to better accommodate internal window furniture and several windows have been given a deeper profile for extra light and are more suitably proportioned.
