Manchester City Living

This project was a 2,500 sq ft modest budget whole house refurbishment with extensions and outhouse additions highlighting our ability to perform at both ends of the market, bespokely tailoring projects to allow the fundamentals of design to outperform their specific briefs.

Here we focussed the budget heavily on spatial and structural layout as well as the fabric of the building and used our taste and ability to choose clever budget products to push them further in the overall bigger picture. We transformed a three bedroom one bathroom house into a five bedroom four bathroom property opening up living space and using every available millimetre to create a flow from inside to out.

Quite often it is in such modest projects where the greatest and most fulfilling improvements are to be found, improving quality of life by leaps and bounds. These projects succeed when you set your budget as far as it possibly allows then attribute the right percentage of the budget to the areas that truly make a marked difference. There is one factor and one factor alone that makes these whole house refurbs a success, being able to pick products from anywhere based on their ability to perform rather than their prestige that when combined with a good eye, more often than not allow such projects to be a success.

Indeed although one of the more modest of our portfolio, it was possibly the most rewarding. For here, good design genuinely changes lives considerably.
