Alterations and Extensions

Smith House

The Brief

Originally an outbuilding used as a piggery, the building was converted into a two bedroom dwelling 15 years ago. Keen to achieve another bedroom with an extension and improve the layout of the house, the owner approached Hyve. The resulting design included a master bedroom and en-suite in a new extension, relocating the living space to be adjacent the kitchen, and opening the ceilings in the existing building to make the most of the original buildings character, bring in more light and create connection to the woodland setting.
