Richmond

Convert Construction delivered a comprehensive extension and refurbishment of a luxury family home in Richmond, transforming it into a modern, spacious, and highly functional residence. The project involved two side extensions and a rear extension to expand the living areas, alongside a full internal refurbishment designed to refresh the interiors and enhance everyday comfort. A complete garden redesign and new patio were also undertaken to extend the living experience outdoors. The result is a refined home that combines architectural elegance with practical family living.

Challenges

The main challenge of this project was integrating the new extensions harmoniously with the existing structure while ensuring that the design enhancements felt natural and cohesive. Achieving this required precise coordination between architectural design, structural work, and interior detailing.

The installation of the full-length skylight demanded careful structural planning to ensure both stability and visual impact, while the hidden door feature required meticulous craftsmanship to achieve a flawless, integrated finish. Balancing functionality with aesthetic simplicity was central to the project’s success, requiring attention to detail across all stages of construction.

Our Solution

The brief was to create a more spacious and efficient home that met the needs of a growing family while maintaining a sense of sophistication and warmth. Convert Construction designed and executed two side extensions and a rear extension to open up the ground floor, improving circulation and creating a stronger connection between the living, dining, and kitchen areas.

A striking skylight was installed along the full length of the kitchen ceiling, flooding the interior with natural light and enhancing the sense of openness. The refurbishment introduced a modern palette of finishes and materials, refreshing the interiors while preserving the home’s welcoming character. A hidden door was designed to lead discreetly into the laundry room, maintaining a clean, uncluttered aesthetic and contributing to the home’s seamless flow.

Externally, the project included a full garden redesign and the creation of a new patio, extending the living space outdoors and providing a stylish, functional area for relaxation and entertaining. The result is a layout that feels open yet organised, with every detail carefully considered for practicality and style.
