Located in a heritage conservation area, this 2 bed, 1 bathroom Victorian terrace comprised of the original terrace at the front and to the rear a series of poorly constructed lean too additions that suffered from rising damp, leaking roofs and a lack of natural daylight & ventilation

Brief Project Description

The aim of the renovation was to restore the heritage sensitive elevation at the front, provide an open plan living/ dining, maximise solar access to the north and to create a new contemporary single storey addition at the rear of the property.

The new ground floor addition to the rear contains a bathroom, laundry facilities, storage, north facing skylights and a large modern kitchen, that opens out onto a private outdoor entertaining terrace.

Box Design Studio. Most people have a vision of what their dream home would look like. Whether it’s building a new house or renovating your current home, I would love the opportunity to work with you to make your dream a reality. - Brian HeavinDirector For as long as I can remember, design has played a major part in my life. Growing up in the Irish countryside, I’ve always been fascinated with the built form and how it interacts with its surroundings. Initially my love of landscape design resulted in being offered a position at the Royal Botanic Gardens in Dublin, to study Horticulture and Landscape Design. However, my passion for residential design won out in the end and I successfully completed a Bachelor of Science degree in Architectural Technology at Napier University Edinburgh. Over the past 14 years I have lead Health, Education and Residential projects for several multinational architectural firms based in the UK and Australia. In January 2016 I established my own firm BOX Design Studio, to focus solely on bespoke residential projects that are client focused and environmentally sustainable. I work closely with my clients and their design brief to produce practical contemporary solutions that fit within budget. I am respectful of a building’s history and aim to maximise light and space, creating where possible a seamless indoor/outdoor aesthetic. I understand the time constraints that people face balancing their work/home life whilst managing finances. This is where BOX Design Studio fits in. I offer a full range of building design services that can be adapted to your needs and aim to take the stress out of the design and build process. Contact me for a consultation and take the first steps in the journey to building the home of your dreams.
