Initially, we explored the possibility of constructing a two-storey extension. However, given that Melliker is a semi-detached house, it was essential that the finished home would sit harmoniously alongside its neighbours. Therefore, we adapted these plans to incorporate a pitched roof design and thoughtfully modernised the property’s exterior. Internally, we retained most of the existing walls and extended the bungalow towards the rear. The former garage was transformed into an inviting entrance hall, enriched with practical storage solutions, and crowned by a new skylight. Ascending the stairs from this point leads to the central hub of the home, where ones gaze is drawn through the property to the expansive countryside beyond. Elsewhere on this level, we created a contemporary kitchen-dining area that seamlessly opens onto a terrace, establishing a fluid connection to the outdoor space. We also introduced a master bedroom and a snug towards the front of the house, future-proofing the home for later years. On the second floor, we added two additional bedrooms and a bathroom to accommodate visiting family and expand the homes footprint.
