Summary
Single storey rear extension and renovation of Victorian terrace property

Location
Southville, South Bristol

Concept
A simple rear infill extension to the ground floor of a Victorian terrace in the Bedminster conservation area. The design included a new open plan kitchen/diner and reconfiguration of the first floor accommodation. The client wanted a design with minimal carbon impact and maximum environmental benefits. The final proposals included a green roof and extensive use of exposed structural timber. Black external timber cladding was used to articulate elements of the new structure.

Clients comments:
‘Smith Maloney Architect Ltd’s ideas incorporating sustainability, energy efficiency and interesting design features won me over on his initial visit. Giving me careful guidance during the outline designs, planning process, selection and commissioning of contractors, and through the build- and fit-out phases his professionalism stood out at all points. He monitored the project and kept in close contact with the contractors (Abbots Construction), with whom he had worked previously, ensuring their work maintained integrity with the original design. The finished product has brought us much happiness, and has transformed our house.’
