Terrace Retrofit, Norwich

The brief for this project was to transform a run-down end of terrace into a compact yet perfectly formed retrofit home. Our client is based in Bermuda most of the time, so we made sure we used our time wisely when she was around to test every aspect of the design and detailing using Virtual Reality to ensure the layout works beautifully and every inch of space is utilised. The entire house was gutted then insulated to ensure lower running costs. Two interlocking zinc-clad boxes sit above a new rear extension with roof lights running down one side to infill the side-return.

We managed to add an extra bedroom in the attic, utilising a locally sourced sprinkler company to ensure Building Regulations compliance. The project is currently on site and the client, contractor and design team are all able to easily access the latest 3D model and technical drawings using the ‘BIMx’ app.
