More space for modern living
Extensions are an exciting opportunity to transform your home.
Whatever style house you live in, extra space with increased openings and larger windows can hugely improve the transition from inside to outdoors, providing greater connectivity to patios and gardens, enhancing views, and flooding interiors with light.
Beyond the practical benefits, this brings a real sense of wellbeing, and the enjoyment of an environment reconfigured for modern living. As well as creating larger social spaces or additional rooms, extensions often unlock the potential to replan and reinvigorate your home.
Once you have shared your aspirations with us, we will prepare bespoke design concepts that respond to your lifestyle, optimise the available space, and integrate with adjoining areas of your property.
The solution may be to follow existing architectural style and materials, but we will also explore complementary or contrasting ideas with you, to create a striking modern addition to your home. And whatever your preferred option, we always design for connection and cohesion, from the old to the new, to achieve seamless flow and function.
Above all, we listen to your ideas and preferences, to reach a shared understanding of what you want to achieve and how you would like to live. Our aim is to fire your imagination with ideas and possibilities, while remaining mindful of budget or other constraints.
Planning and pricing
Our ethos is to go beyond the ordinary. For every project, regardless of budget, we aim to give you stunning aesthetics, through contemporary architecture and modern finishes. We are also respectful of location and realistic about what can be achieved – pushing boundaries where appropriate, without crossing the line or blowing your budget.
Giles Architects have great experience in the planning process, taking full account of local authority guidance, and advising you on what is likely to be permissible and any relevant restrictions. We will prepare and submit applications on your behalf, liaise with planning officers, and keep you fully informed of progress. We are proud to maintain a successful track record.
With construction costs for a typical single storey extension averaging £2,000 – £2,500/sq.m, it is important to focus on quality of space, not just quantity. We will discuss cost/benefit considerations with you to ensure you get the most from your budget and that every square metre built delivers value and purpose.
