Residential Extension Commission: Cowley, Oxford, Oxfordshire

 

Client: Private Client.

Brief: This project, currently on site, is to be a 2 storey side extension to a detached property in Cowley, Oxford. The existing property is victorian in era and is set over 2 floors with large gardens to the front and rear. After protracted planning negotiations, approval was given in March of this year.

 

At ground floor, the new extension will provide a large single garage to the front with an open plan kitchen / dining area to the rear. At first floor a small dressing area is provided to the front with associated en-suite facilities for the master bedroom. To the rear a large studio type space is provided. This space will have a vaulted ceiling (open to the roof above) and will offer access to a small office, to the front, area under the eaves.

 

Given the aesthetic qualities of the existing building, materials for the extension were carefully selected so as to be inkeeping where possible. Brickwork & roofing slates will be re-claimed to match existing. Period sash windows are also proposed throughout.
