Longlands Road
Project Overview
The Longlands Road project involved a timber frame extension, complete reconfiguration, and full refurbishment of a ground floor apartment situated near the sea. The renovation aimed to enhance both the functionality and aesthetic appeal of the living space, creating a contemporary yet relaxed environment that resonates with its coastal setting.
Key Features
Timber Frame Extension
The extension utilized a robust and speedy timber frame construction , allowing for seamless integration with the existing structure. This choice not only supports sustainability but also enhances the overall aesthetic of the home by providing a contrasting modern visual from the dated host dwelling.
Contemporary Design
The exterior features distinctive burnt timber cladding applied to a simple "box-like" form, providing a modern and striking appearance. This design choice contributes to the apartment's coastal vibe while ensuring durability against the elements.
Open-Plan Living Space
The internal layout was thoughtfully reconfigured to create an intricate and cosy open-plan living area. This design maximizes natural light and promotes a sense of flow between the kitchen, dining, and lounge spaces, ideal for both relaxation and entertaining.
The Longlands Road extension successfully transforms the ground floor apartment into a contemporary coastal haven. With its thoughtful design, high-quality finishes, and relaxed atmosphere, this project not only enhances the living experience but also elevates the property's overall value and appeal.
Bespoke Finishes
The project incorporated bespoke finishes and reclaimed materials throughout the apartment, adding character and a unique touch to the interior. These elements work together to evoke a relaxed, beachy atmosphere that complements the coastal environment.
Relaxed Coastal Feel
The overall design philosophy focused on creating a tranquil and inviting space. The use of natural materials and light color palettes enhances the connection to the seaside setting, making the apartment a perfect retreat.
