Mews House in Brighton

This Regency Coach House was converted to student accommodation and then to a ‘townhouse’ in 1990. We were appointed by the new owners to carry through an Eco- renovation while also creating a modern family home to meet our clients’ design aspirations.

In close consultation with the clients, our specialists designed the refurbishment to meet and exceed Planning & Building Regulations requirements, including suitable technologies to reduce the carbon footprint by over 70%, so reducing energy bills to match. We stripped back to basics but were careful to re-use existing materials and recycle waste wherever possible.

Mews House in Hove

The property was an 1840′s Mews house that was in need of general redecoration, was difficult to heat and suffered from a degree of dampness. The property was in a conservation area and so any changes to its external appearance would require planning consent.

The owner wanted to give the property a modern look and create some new contemporary spaces within it to fit with 21^st century lifestyles, whilst greatly increasing thermal comfort. Central to the refurbishment were new bathrooms and kitchen both of which required major structural work.
