Front Of An Architecturally Designed house Chellaston Derby

House Renovation and Remodel Chellaston (near Weston on Trent) Derby, Derbyshire, DE73

Project Description

Full house renovation and remodel that includes front, side and 1st floor extension to accommodate a double height hallway, living kitchen, utility room and extra bedrooms.

The homeowner and I completely redesigned the whole house from top to bottom. It now incorporates everything they wished for, including a lavish open-plan living kitchen and a wow factor two-storey high entrance hall.

Believe it or not, they initially only wanted a double garage and an extra bedroom! On first speaking to the couple they seemed a little frustrated that, despite the improvements they had already made to the house, they still didn’t feel happy in it.

Once I sunk my teeth into the project, it became apparent that there was a lot more potential with this house and the couple were keen to explore that. When I last visited the family, they seemed so happy living there and very glad to have turned their ‘ugly duckling’ of a house into a beautiful bespoke home for them all.

Testimonial

“Stuart brought his architectural expertise to the redesign of our entire home in Derby, and we’re really pleased with the results. From the very beginning, he came up with two completely different design options for our remodel and visualised them in 3D, which made it so much easier for us to understand and compare them. He thought of things we would never have thought of ourselves, helping us see the potential in our home in ways we hadn’t imagined. Being able to see things clearly helped us explore all the possibilities and feel confident in going ahead with Design Option B. Stuart then handled the planning submission for us, and it all went very smoothly.

Although the project was never meant to be an investment and was designed purely for us as a family home, it still feels like a really sound decision all round. The finished transformation is everything we hoped for — both attractive and practical, perfectly suited to the needs of a young family like ours. We especially love the glazed walls, which bring in so much light and create a lovely connection between the indoors and outdoors. The layout works effortlessly for our daily lives, making the home a pleasure to live in.

Stuart is very personable, friendly, and easy to work with. He really listens, and his creativity and passion for what he does come through in every part of the process. We’ve since worked with him on a few other projects and have never been disappointed. Highly recommended.”
