Argyll Extension

Who doesn't want a feature wine cellar in the floor of their open plan space!

This project showcases a high-quality extension to a listed house in the West End of Aberdeen.

An existing lean-to extension was removed to allow a spacious open plan Kitchen/Dining/Family extension, with sliding doors opening out to the garden. The vaulted ceiling complements the high ceilings of the original house, creating a different space and volume, with rooflights ensuring daylight penetrates the centre of the space, at all times of the day.

A Utility was formed, off the open plan space, with a new side door to access the garden.

On the 1st floor, an En-Suite was added to the Master Bedroom, which also benefits from newly fitted bespoke wardrobes and bay window seating/storage. The Bathroom layout was reorganised to fit in a freestanding bath and shower enclosure. Both rooms were completed redecorated to provide a luxurious space.

The palette of materials was selected to complement the house, with granite piers formed from the downtakings, Accoya cladding supplied by Russwood, NorDan Aluclad windows and doors, a slated pitched roof and membrane roof above the Utility.
