Rethinking Home - Lifestyle Builders: House Extension - Where Do You Start?

Mark Muir • Apr 02, 2024

Sometimes is like answering how long is a piece of string....

 but given our ethos of putting people first and prioritising quality in space, materials, and life experiences, designing your new extension begins with a thoughtful exploration of your vision, needs, and aspirations. Here's a potted approach as a guide:


1. Vision and Inspiration: Let's start by discussing your vision for the extension. What are your goals and objectives? What inspired you to embark on this project? By understanding your vision, designers can align design concepts and ideas that bring your aspirations to life.



2  Space Utilisation and Functionality: Consider how you envision using the new space. Are you looking to create additional living areas, entertainment spaces, or dedicated zones for specific activities? By defining the functionality of each area within the extension, we can optimise space and ensure that every square foot provides a positive experience
Architectural Aesthetics and Integration: Our focus on quality extends to the architectural aesthetics of the extension. How do you envision the extension blending seamlessly with the existing structure? Are there specific architectural styles or design elements you prefer? By integrating the extension harmoniously with its context, we can achieve a cohesive and visually stunning result.



3. Material Selection and Texture: Material selection plays a pivotal role in achieving the desired quality and ambiance within the extension. Let's explore materials that not only enhance the aesthetic appeal but also contribute to living harmoniously with our planet and provide the sensory experience you desire. Considerations such as texture, color, and finish can further enrich the space and promote individual self-expression.


4. Capturing Unique Views and Natural Light: Capturing unique views into the landscape , or connections with nature, is a key aspect of our design approach. Let's assess the surrounding environment and identify opportunities to maximise natural light and natural connections from within the extension. Whether it's framing panoramic vistas or creating intimate vignettes, we'll prioritise creating sensory experiences that connect you with the beauty of your surroundings.



5. Personalisation and Self-Expression: Finally, let's explore how we can infuse the extension with elements of self-expression. Whether it's through custom-built features, artistic details, or unique design elements, our goal is to create a space that reflects your individuality and enhances your quality of life.



By starting with a clear vision, thoughtful consideration of functionality and aesthetics, and a commitment to quality in every aspect of the design process, we can create a new extension that not only meets your expectations but exceeds them. Our team is dedicated to collaborating closely with you every step of the way, ensuring that your vision is brought to life with precision, creativity, and attention to detail.
