A shift for the sun.
Full refurbishment, modernisation and extensions project.
This was a back-to-brick project, with significant internal remodelling to provide a more efficient, spatially open layout for modern family living. New features include the entrance canopy, leading to a double height foyer and an impressively sprawling open plan space linking kitchen, dining, snug and lounge. This multi-zone space was achieved by extending at the rear, with two sets of triple glazed sliding doors and 2 large rooflights providing strong connectivity with the garden and sky. A central fireplace, the underbelly of the loft stair with glazed half landing, and the shifting angle of the extension are points of interest as well as zoning devices. The angle shift across the lounge zone was to maximise the orientation toward the sun.
At first floor, key features include the loft stair with amphitheatre style steps, the flow of space from entrance hall to loft landing, and the lavish master bedroom suite.
The loft conversion provides two new bedrooms with en suites, and impressive views of the garden through large windows. Internal windows looking across the loft stair void enhance the garden views as well adding a sense of connectivity with the house.

“This is our 3rd but the most radical home remodel projects and we are so blessed to have Volker on board! His professionalism and knowledge is the best out of all the architects we have experienced.
“But what makes Volker really stand out, is that he really cares about delivering the vision and the creativity this project required, with as much enthusiasm and excitement as we do. This is what truly makes a difference between delivering a project vs delivering a home that we love.
“We feel really supported by Volker throughout the entire process. We have already recommend Volker to a friend who is equally happy as us. Would highly recommend Volker to anyone.”
