Architectural design creates multi-functional space in Adlington.

Architectural design of alterations and extensions transforms a single storey house in South Manchester near Macclesfield.

Four extensions and a combination of existing kitchen and living spaces are unified by architectural design.  With the result that space flows. The entire building was a construction site. This is the smart contemporary home of a successful professional couple. The large open living/cooking/dining space flows into the garden through  bi-folding doors. Which are the source of natural light. As well as  a roof lantern above. A state-of-art kitchen is presented in the interior. Beautifully lit as part of my clients’ sophisticated interior design.

After. The multi-use living space with study extension beyond. Beam casings are also service spaces, e.g. extract hood.

The architectural design is realised by carefully refined steelwork. By the design of Structural engineers Howard Johnston reducing beam down-stands to a minimum. And lowering steel costs.

The architectural design is also finely balanced thermally. Bi-folding doorways in the living space and master bedroom. Plus two large rooflights. All are significant heat sinks. Compensation was calculated by the architect for super-insulation. This maintains an affordably warm interior whilst achieving  building regulations compliance. Building control was by the local authority.

Attention to detail

Initial cost planning by quantity surveyor Katie Green of Quantum GN broadly established viability and funding needs. My clients were able to project manage realisation of the design themselves. So taking the project forward with builder Nick McIvor of Oak Building Services . Nick worked closely to co-ordinate the kitchen installation.

This successful project is transformative, extensive and complex. Therefore a good example of high quality achieved with an able design and construction team led by decisive and experienced managing clients.
