SEAFORD
Creating Functional Family Living Spaces in Seaford, Sussex
Understanding the evolving needs of modern family life is at the heart of our residential design process. For this handsome 4-bedroomed 1920s detached property in Seaford, Sussex, UK, achieving project success involved a sustainable design approach that remained sympathetic to the existing architecture, combined with expert execution of all internal alterations.
By strategically undertaking internal remodelling and the removal of an internal wall, our skilled team transformed the spatial relationship to create a truly functional, free-flowing social space perfect for family living. The kitchen relocation was meticulously planned to maximize work surfaces, while the utility room renovation now offers valuable additional storage and laundry facilities. The original kitchen area has been thoughtfully repurposed into a large dining and sitting area, providing clear and direct access to a newly created entrance lobby design and ground floor cloakroom design with WC. This space planning focused on creating a better flow for modern lifestyles.
Through expert execution
Addressing the structural implications of load-bearing wall removal required precision and expertise. Our experienced local Structural Engineer, specialising in residential structural design and load-bearing wall removal, prepared detailed structural calculations and structural drawings to ensure the provision of necessary supporting elements met UK Building Regulation Approval standards. Their expertise in structural engineering for home renovations was crucial for seamlessly integrating the new structural beam, which was cleverly concealed within a dropped ceiling void over the new kitchen. This allowed for a stepped ceiling that defines the function areas within the enlarged open plan living area. With Focus on Seamless Integration and Project Management Following a full house survey that underlays the sketch design stage, we provided a comprehensive costing package to a trusted local builder, ensuring transparency and clear expectations for this home renovation. Project costs were clearly defined before the submission of the Building Regulation application. Construction management commenced after receiving full approval, with a CDM Checklist issued to the builder to ensure a well-managed and safe project, reflecting our dedication to professional and expert execution at every stage of this house renovation.
