The client requested internal refurbishment, including an open kitchen and living area with bi-fold doors leading to the rear. Various layout options were to be considered. Initially, the plan involved a two-story extension to add an extra bedroom. However, after conducting feasibility studies and exploring alternative ideas, it was determined that a full-width single-story rear extension would be more beneficial. This adjustment allowed the client to undertake refurbishments in the first phase and extend in the second phase, providing financial relief while aligning with their vision.
