Our Remit
Working on the «don’t move, improve» principle (incredibly wise, we think), our clients wanted to think big. In fact, very big. This family needed more room downstairs, and was keen to embrace the absolute best that the high-standards in construction that Home Republic were able to offer them.
The solution?
An extension, of course. But — what an extension.
Above, you can see the original shape and width of the house, as well as its luxurious new space on the ground floor — much wider than the original property, but totally in keeping.
What We Did
The team constructed an extra-wide, wraparound, L-shaped, 12-metre extension to create a space that «flowed». Full of natural daylight from newly constructed roof lighting , this open plan space is now striking, beautiful, yet also tremendously practical.
Home Republic refurbished the ground floor throughout, building a new kitchen, utility room and living room, as well as extra living space. Internal Crittal doors (bespoke, steel doors) to the garden offer a sleek, contemporary look and feel. They’re also a clever link between the inside and outside.
The concrete tiles we used in the living area again provide a seamless link between indoors and outdoors. As you can see, the sizeable patio leads to a large garden, offering plenty of room for entertaining and relaxing.
Working in close pro-active collaboration with our client, we had excellent rapport and effective communication with them from start to finish. This was, and is, important to us as it delivers the best results.
Home Republic took extra care to be as proactive as possible, and that every key decision was taken jointly. Equally, we planned and scheduled with the utmost care and attention for a deadline-focused project delivery.
The Result
In a word, our clients are...delighted. They have further plans and more exciting ideas, and we’re looking forward to being a part of creating their ultimate dream home in the near future.
Client Review:
«Home Republic completed a large single story kitchen extension in early 2022. The entire process was well run from start to finish with clear communication and an exceptional quality of build. Throughout the process Alex, and the project managers were communicative, efficient and clear on project next steps. At a personal level, they were also easy to work with. The final product is a high-quality extension, that we feel safe in the knowledge has been carried out to a high degree of workmanship. I would happily recommend them, and work with them again on future projects.»
