Hazelwood Road in Duffield, Derby, contains many large properties of contrasting styles, but predominantly of traditional character. This plot contained a 1960s style dwelling. Our client asked us to examine the feasibility of adding a significant extension and alteration to the dwelling; form a complete new look in traditional style; take advantage of the plot in relation to its context; take in spectacular views to the rear. The extended property consists of 450 sq.m. of generous family accommodation.We proposed a large extension to the front and side; part demolition to the property; and proposed completely enveloping the exisiting dwelling with new materials. We also advised that by concentrating on the detail of the roof wallplate we could incorporate a 'room in the roof' trusses. This added a large amount of floor space at an economical cost. Contemporary details were proposed in the use of stone heads and cills which line through with the window openings. This gave a contenporary edge to a traditional form.Architects Certificate
