Transforming a modest bungalow into a high-specification, four-bedroom family home
From Compact to Considered: Reimagining Family Living
What began as a two-bedroom bungalow in Drayton is now an elegant and spacious four-bedroom home—designed with comfort, style, and future family living in mind.
Our clients wanted more than just extra space. They were looking for a complete transformation: a property that would not only meet their growing needs but feel like a long-term home—modern, warm, and thoughtfully designed at every level.
Designing the Dream: From Feasibility to Finish
GRK Architecture provided a full architectural service from day one. We worked closely with the clients to explore the site’s potential, develop a refined design strategy, and lead the project through planning and approvals.
Our responsibilities included:
• Early feasibility assessments
• Securing planning permission
• Gaining Building Regulations approval
• Delivering a cohesive architectural vision from concept to completion
This comprehensive approach allowed us to stay focused on both the big picture and the finer details that make a home feel truly personal and complete.
Elegant Expansion: Space, Light and Flow
The redesigned home now offers four bedrooms, generous living areas, and improved circulation throughout—making daily life more seamless and sociable.
High-quality materials were used throughout the build, with finishes chosen to reflect the clients’ taste for understated luxury. From exterior choices to internal detailing, everything was considered to deliver a home that feels elevated yet grounded in comfort.
A Home Built to Last
By combining timeless design with practical upgrades, we helped our clients create a space that works beautifully now and will continue to do so for years to come.
This renovation is a strong example of how thoughtful design and quality execution can transform not just a building—but the way people live in it.

We craft homes that feel natural, welcoming and truly yours.
We believe the best homes are the ones that reflect the people who live in them. Every project starts with a conversation about how you use your space, what works well and what could work better. When we understand your routines, your priorities and the way you want your home to feel, we can design spaces that fit effortlessly into daily life.
We think carefully about how rooms connect, how light shapes the atmosphere and how thoughtful detailing can make everyday living more enjoyable. Nothing is rushed or off the shelf. We take the time to make sure each part of your home feels balanced, welcoming and suited to your lifestyle.
The result is a home that feels considered in every corner. It looks great, functions well and grows with you over time. Most importantly, it feels like the place you always imagined it could be.
Beautifully designed homes that bring families together.
Every home has the potential to feel more comfortable, more spacious and more in tune with everyday life. We start by understanding what you want your home to achieve, then explore the ideas and improvements that will make the biggest difference.
From gaining planning approval to creating more space with an extension, refreshing older rooms or transforming unused areas, each service is designed to help your home work better for you. The focus is always on thoughtful design, clear communication and a process that feels well-supported from start to finish.
We manage every aspect of your project with meticulous attention to detail.
We go beyond designing your dream space, we offer comprehensive project management services. From liaising with local planning authorities and dealing with complex planning applications, all the way through to overseeing construction.
Our goal is to provide a hassle-free experience, turning the complexity of building into a seamless journey.
We treat every client like they are our only client, and we strive to improve the quality of your daily life with spaces that truly mean something to you.
