Stoke Close House – Surrey Property Extension

The brief for Stoke Close House was to create a dream home for the clients and to change the style, the internal feel and to combine the traditional looking house with some light, unique and modern elements. Internally, there was an extensive renovation which left the internal spaces throughout almost unrecognisable from before. Some gentle modern treatments were added to the front of the property while maintaining the tradition of the building.

To the rear, the traditional form of a gabled two-storey extension was complimented by a more contemporary angled element and clad in dark painted timber to give the building a completely different feel. The result is a beautiful, modern family home.

What were the key challenges?
The rear cladding was not as simple as choosing a style, pattern, spacing, material and colour. Obviously, this decision was considered in detail, but the finishing quality of the rear façade is made more impressive by the arrangement of the timber strips and close communication with the contractor was required.

Careful design consideration was given to each panel length and joint position in relation to the windows and doors. It was designed to appear uniform in all horizonal and vertical planes.

The screws were also set in uniform arrangement, so while not visible from afar, when inspected up close the pattern is flawless.
