The homeowners were looking to modernised their 4 bedroom chalet style bungalow. Creating a light open feel and maximise the views over the Exe estuary.
Sat above the Devon village of Lympstone. Looking out over the river Exe, the property wasn’t making the most of its sought after location.
Living Space Architects put plans together to refurbish the chalet bungalow ensuring it took full advantage of its location. They flipped the house layout upside down, moving the key living areas upstairs and added a balcony in order to fully enjoy the fantastic views. The upstairs of the property now hosts the living area, kitchen, dining area and snug. All open plan to maximise the light in the space.
The ground floor is now home to the bedrooms, bathrooms and the study.
Externally the roof has been clad in zinc, which creates a modern contrast to the painted render and cladding panels to the bottom of the property. Both tying in perfectly with the RAL 7016 matt colour of the aluminium glazing, metal roof and matching box guttering. Creating a modern transformation.
The glazing was key to this property in order to get the light, airy, view capturing space the homeowners were looking for. A large 5.2 meter wide aluminium sliding door was installed to the living/kitchen area of the property. Leading out onto the balcony, the 3 pane, triple track door, allows the home owner to open the doors 2/3rds of the way, for seamless access onto the balcony. With the views enjoyed opened or closed. The lift and slide operation of the doors, make for effortless opening or closing.
A 3 meter wide gable frame was installed on the end wall in the dining area, to enjoy views down over the village and out over to the estuary whilst the family are enjoying meal times. Creating an artwork like feature.
A mixture of fixed and opening slim and contemporary windows were installed to the rest of the property. All in RAL 7016 anthracite grey. Pre-anodised in order to protect the frames in their marine location.
