Elevating First Impressions: Extension and Façade Upgrade in Chandlers Ford
A bold yet practical transformation to modernise the front of a family home.
This two-storey front extension transformed a dated detached home in Chandlers Ford into a more welcoming, functional and visually striking residence.
Our clients wanted to enhance the front of their property—both in how it looked and how it worked. The brief was clear: create a larger, more inviting entrance, add an en-suite to the master bedroom above, and rethink the overall look and feel of the façade.
We also helped reconfigure the driveway layout for improved access and parking, and collaborated with a lighting designer to introduce a subtle, well-integrated exterior lighting scheme—adding character, security, and night-time appeal.
GRK Architecture worked closely with the homeowners to explore design options, secure planning permission, and guide the project through Building Regulations approval.
The result is a smarter, more practical frontage that balances contemporary design with everyday function—setting a strong first impression that reflects the quality of the home behind it.
We design beautiful homes that bring the family together.
