Chaveney Road, Quorn, submitted by David Granger Architectural Design
After previously renovating and extending their home, a self-building couple wanted a bespoke dwelling created in their substantial garden.
A creative design approach was required to access the plot without compromising the existing dwelling. This was achieved via the purchase of an adjacent site.
Due to the ground conditions, the foundation design for the property was challenging and required a well thought-out scheme to address the presence of trees, ground water and infilled land.
Kiln House, Diseworth, submitted by Corporate Architecture
Kiln House incorporates the only surviving brick kiln out of three built in the village of Diseworth towards the middle of the 18th century.
The project included a review and improvements to a previous scheme for a detached home. It increased the number of bedrooms, added a family entertainment room and allowed the inclusion of the kiln as office space.
This attractive and unusual feature has created a study within the main building while preserving this interesting feature of former village life.
Swithland Lane, Rothley, submitted by Launchpadd
A four-bedroom family home designed and constructed in 1991 was refurbished and extended more than 30 years later by the same architect, Nick Allen.
Designed in the 1930s suburban Arts and Crafts style, the prevalent historic style within the Rothley Garden Suburb Conservation Area, the house has more than doubled in size.
The new scheme respected the original design but is undeniably contemporary and achieved modern standards in terms of energy efficiency and mechanical and electrical performance.
