The brief
The brief centred on renovating existing first-floor space to create a larger, more practical bedroom. The alteration also needed to look and feel like a natural part of the house, with the new work relating to the existing fabric.
Bridge End Roof raising and bedroom extension.
Project overview
At Bridge End in Warwick, a roof alteration enlarged a first-floor bedroom and improved the upstairs accommodation. The project combined roof raising, structural carpentry and internal alterations while keeping the original property's character.
The work carried out
LGK carried out roof raising and structural alterations to form the revised roof arrangement. Structural carpentry formed part of the work, alongside the enlargement of the bedroom.
Roof lights were introduced and a timber-framed window was incorporated into the new elevation. Inside, the work included improvements to the hallway serving the upstairs accommodation.
External materials and details were chosen to blend with the original building.
