Oak Tree Lane, Bournville

This project is located within the historic Bournville Trust Estate, known for its strict development regulations and controls on extensions. The estate has its own office that reviews all applications, and it was a rare achievement to gain their support for this contemporary design, which typically faces resistance. The property, built in the predominant Arts and Crafts style of the early 20th century, underwent sympathetic alterations, including two-storey extensions to the rear and side, and a modern white-rendered extension with a glass roof for the new kitchen.

The design harmoniously blends period materials with modern elements, preserving the character of the original home while introducing fresh, contemporary features. The interior was carefully furnished by the client with the assistance of an interior designer, complemented by high-end artwork.

The grounds were also transformed with extensive landscaping, featuring a terrace with an outdoor Morso oven, inset spa, and outdoor shower. We designed bespoke oiled iroko furniture to complete the outdoor setting, ensuring it is as functional as it is beautiful.
