2018 has seen Fife Architects design several new renovation projects for private clients. Here we have included a few examples of projects currently at the initial design stage. They include a pair of extensions and upgrades to homes in Crail, a modest green roof extension in Auchtermuchty, plus the renovation and extension of an already converted milk barn in Elie.
RENOVATION & EXTENSION OUTSIDE CRAIL
The design brief for this project explores the possibility of a front extension to create a separate living room and entrance porch. The initial design explored the creation of a better front porch and entrance hall with access to all public spaces and a Lounge with lots of glass and views across the Firth of Forth.
EXTENSION & INTERNAL ALTERATIONS TO FAMILY HOME, CRAIL
In this design, Fife Architects have reconfigured the ground floor of this house in Crail, creating a rear brick and glass extension. The extension hosts timber bi-folding doors out to a covered veranda overlooking the garden. The existing building will benefit from new timber windows and replacement roofs for the garage and utility. Upstairs the existing dormer will be extended to create a new master bedroom with corner window feature and Juliette balcony with a fantastic sea view. Overall the accommodation will provide 5 bedrooms, two of which will be upstairs with a shared bathroom, an open plan kitchen/dining/lounge area featuring a dual aspect fire, utility room, shower room & bathroom.
RENOVATION & EXTENSION, ELIE
The design brief for this project includes an attic conversion, an extension and interior remodeling to create a more spacious home better suited to the client and their family. The improvements will feature the addition of an extra bedroom with ensuite, a creative studio, an office space, a utility room and a flexible room which can be used as a study or an additional guest room. The new design incorporates an open plan kitchen/dining opening out on to a balcony with views out to the garden with a mezzanine level above. The new utility area will create a convenient dog entrance and will house a bench seat and ample storage.
KITCHEN AND UTILITY GREEN ROOF EXTENSION IN AUCHTERMUCHTY
The design brief for this project explored the possibility of an infill and rear extension to expand the kitchen at ground level and create a utility room to form a better connection to the rear garden which considered the future adaptation of the workshop from the ground floor.
