private house - solihull
This scheme delivered by CoARC in the Malvern Hall and Brueton Avenue Conservation Area in Solihull was given planning permission in 2023, and started on site at the end of summer 2023.
The scheme involves the removal of the existing rear extension and replacement with more generous accommodation allowing a better arrangement. In addition, the loft conversion was reconfigured with a larger dormer and new stair access, the front of the house had the bay window extended to the first floor as well, and an increased porch and garage space, allowing some of the existing garage to be converted to a study space.
The materials at the front are all to match the existing with roughcast white render and white fenestration. The rear uses a complimentary pale red brick, sympathetic to the existing red brick but different enough to be recognised as new masonry. The extension uses zinc detailing for the canopy to match with the zinc cladding on the roof extension.
