Sometimes the best renovation is the one that gets smaller.

Barcelona House is a cosy, 100-year-old home that had already been extended once and was home to a family whose needs were changing.

With two university-aged children still at home, the brief was to create a little more space and privacy for everyone - while keeping the house feeling like itself.

The original plan was for a second-storey extension. But as the project developed, we questioned what the family actually needed, rather than simply adding more space.
The result was a much more modest 38m² extension containing a new main bedroom, ensuite and a small snug - affectionately known as the “adult wing”.

This also created the opportunity to open up the existing kitchen and dining areas, creating a much more generous connection between the kitchen and the living spaces.

The smaller footprint meant a simpler build, a more focused budget and, ultimately, a house that works harder for the family without losing the scale and character that made them fall in love with it in the first place.

More space wasn’t necessarily the answer. Better space was.
