Transforming a family home in Petersfield with more space, and more light.
From a segmented bungalow to a light-filled modern haven.
This home transformation in Petersfield was about much more than adding space—it was about creating a lifestyle.
When a growing family approached us with a vision for their dream home, we saw the opportunity to reimagine their traditional four-bedroom bungalow into something far more fluid, functional and future-proof.
They were clear from the start:
• Maximise natural light
• Create open, multi-purpose living spaces
• Embrace contemporary design with warmth and character
• Integrate sustainable solutions wherever possible
By combining thoughtful architecture with bespoke design, we helped shape a home that supports family life today and adapts for tomorrow.
Light, Flow and Functionality at the Heart
At the centre of the redesign was a bright, open-plan kitchen-living space—perfect for both everyday life and entertaining. Floor-to-ceiling glazing, roof lanterns and bi-fold doors invite daylight deep into the home while creating a strong connection to the garden.
Cedar cladding and crisp white render offer a modern yet natural palette that complements the South Downs surroundings, while bespoke internal layout changes improved space efficiency and flow.
Designing Around Challenges
Located within the South Downs National Park, the project required a sensitive approach to planning. We collaborated closely with local authorities to ensure our plans preserved the area’s character and respected biodiversity.
The initial idea of a roof terrace was replaced with a Juliet balcony—delivering openness without compromising neighbours’ privacy. Small changes like this made a big difference in keeping the design aligned with both planning constraints and the client’s vision.
We also incorporated sustainable features, including:
• Rainwater recycling
• Discreet composting
• A soil management plan
• Bat and bird boxes to support local ecology

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.
