Contemporary house extension of terraced property.
About the project.
nest successfully won a competitive tender to build a unique contemporary extension for Ali and his family. The site was accessed from a busy pedestrianised street with a number of bars and restaurants. Health and Safety was paramount onsite ensuring the public were safeguraded at all times.
The project contained many unusual challenges including doors and windows with a 17 week lead time and many changes to the original contract, all of which nest managed to undertake within the original anticipated timeframe.
We successfully installed a large steel structure, enormous glazed roof light and green roof. Crittall doors and windows filled the rear elevation allowing light to flood into the new extension. A new wood burning stove adds warmth and character to the space. Specialist timber cladding was sourced and applied and a new sandstone patio area was carefully laid.
Major excavation, drainage and groundworks were undertaken in order to create a more useable garden space. We installed large vertical sleepers to shore up the garden and act as a visual feature. We built a brick garden wall and laid a new lawn leading to a new bespoke electric cedar clad security gate.
The clients have a stunning contemporary, rustic garden room extension with direct access to a beautifully landscaped garden.
