Residential Renovation Project at Bigwood Avenue in Hove
The project at Bigwood Avenue comprised the construction of a contemporary single storey rear extension alongside a comprehensive refurbishment of the existing property. The works were designed to enhance the home’s spatial quality, energy performance, and overall functionality while remaining sensitive to the character of the original building.
Single Storey Rear Extension
- The new rear extension created an enlarged open plan kitchen, dining, and family living space.
- High‑performance glazing, including full‑height bi‑fold doors were installed to maximise natural light and strengthen the connection to the garden and outdoor spaces.
- A modern roof design incorporating skylights introduced additional daylight into the interior.
- Materials were selected to complement the existing architecture while providing a clean, contemporary aesthetic.
- Enhanced insulation and energy‑efficient construction methods were used to improved thermal comfort and reduce running costs of the home.
Full House Refurbishment
- Complete internal reconfiguration to improve circulation, room proportions, and overall usability.
- Upgraded electrical and plumbing systems to meet current standards.
- Installation of a new heating system, improved insulation, and energy‑efficient windows where required.
- New kitchen and bathrooms fitted with modern fixtures, finishes, and appliances.
- Replastered walls, new flooring throughout, and updated internal joinery including doors, skirting, and integrated storage solutions.
- Refreshed decorative finishes to create a cohesive, modern interior.
- Smart‑home upgrades such as integrated lighting, heating controls, and security systems.
Summary
The combined extension and refurbishment transform the property into a bright, modern, and highly functional family home. The design enhances everyday living, increases usable floor area, and adds long‑term value while respecting the character of the surrounding Bigwood Avenue streetscape.
