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.
