Chute Avenue, Worthing

The brief was to remodel the ground floor and provide further accommodation to a typical bungalow. Careful consideration was given to the massing and elevation composition, with large areas of glazing added to the rear south elevation. This provided views into the mature garden; improved daylight levels within the ground floor and maximised solar gain.

The ground floor re-modelling comprised:

  • Conversion of existing garage into a hobby room & store
  • Creation of utility area
  • New glazed kitchen & dining area leading onto
  • Rear terrace

The first floor roof area was remodelled and extended to provide:

  • A large master bedroom with en-suite
  • Terrace
  • Store

Careful consideration was given to the materials and environmental factors. These included:

  • The existing fabric was insulated to improve overall energy efficiency, with levels exceeding Building Regulations.
  • Underfloor heating system
  • Double glazed sliding doors/window system to maximise views & solar gain
  • Brise soleil added to south elevation
  • Sustainable Siberian Larch cladding used
  • Existing timber parquet floor retained & refurbished.

The project completed in 2015.
