Beeches 2
House extension, 100 sq m
Medstead, Hampshire

This architectural intervention transforms a mid-20th Century bungalow through a carefully designed single-storey rear extension and garage conversion. The project introduces a contemporary timber-clad extension that sensitively responds to the existing dwelling’s character while creating a dynamic connection between interior living spaces and the garden.
The extension’s defining feature is an elegant oriel window that serves as a pivotal architectural element, bridging the interior and exterior environments. Projecting subtly from the building line, this carefully crafted window creates a liminal space that captures natural light and frames views of the garden, blurring the boundaries between inside and outside.
Complementing the extension, the existing single garage undergoes a subtle conversion into a home office, with minimal external alterations preserving the building’s original character. The project demonstrates a nuanced approach to residential adaptation, balancing contemporary design with contextual sensitivity.
It was submitted for planning permission in late-2024.
