Alison Hammond’s custom garden room is where elegance meets practicality. 

This versatile space, expertly constructed using Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs), serves as an office, a cinema room, and a recording studio for social media content. SIPs ensure it's insulated and soundproof, perfect for year-round use. 

Alison says, “Working with the team was wonderful; their professionalism made me feel secure, and the camaraderie was heartwarming. My garden room is now my go-to space for productivity and relaxation!” 

A tailor-made retreat, it’s an example of how living spaces can be reimagined for multiple functions.

Our mission was to revive the charm of this 1846 house and transform it into a modern, sociable space. Through the addition of a mansard roof and a 4 storey rear extension we restored the period allure, but improved functionality for modern living.   

The success of this comprehensive renovation, managed from initial design through to interior finishing touches, hinged on trust, transparent communication, and shared respect for craftsmanship. 

Our brief was to comprehensively restore and renovate a Grade II listed house on the Calthorpe Estate, built around 1850. The project, aimed at adapting the home for a modern, growing family, included a loft conversion, roof replacement, wine cellar, new bathrooms for each bedroom, a kitchen overhaul, updated heating and electrical systems, window replacements, and external landscaping with lighting. Restoring the home's original features was paramount.

The house, a long-term home for clients with new twins, demanded an integration of modern amenities with its historical charm. A full team, including designers, tradespeople, stonemasons, stained glass artists, and cabinet makers, was involved.

A highlight was the new staircase to the loft, designed in the original house style, blending seamlessly as an authentic feature. Fun features like quirky secret panelling provide a unique touch, offer a playful element for the children.
