Article source: Märraum The Brief We were thrilled when Alison and Bob got in touch to say they’d found a new property, and were looking for our design services once more. No longer a new build project, they wanted to convert a damp, dingy and cluttered double garage into a bright self-contained annexe for family and friends to stay in.  Image Courtesy © Hugh Hastings

The vision was to create a light, interesting and dynamic space that was strikingly modern, while complementing the character of the existing period property and the location’s sensitive conservation area. The second planning application went in and was approved with no snags. It was finally time for the build to begin, with the contemporary side extension.

The annexe’s dark days are a distant memory; balancing light with carefully positioned windows and roof lights has given the space a new lease of life. Its white painted concrete floors, white walls, white tiles, and light kitchen materials are nicely balanced with textiles, pictures and furnishing that have created a light yet cosy space.And with a luxurious en-suite, a kitchenette and a living area that leads to an evening sun-soaked private deck, guests are sure to have a serene stay.
