Planning approval granted for an extension and refurbishment of an existing bungalow in Cotmandene, Dorking.

The proposal consists of a number of internal and external alterations, in order to meet the client's needs. Internal alterations across the ground floor level, and the utilisation of the existing loft space ensure the dwelling is fit for the modern lifestyle of the client.

Various alterations across the elevations, as well as the introduction of contemporary materiality and detailing ensure the proposal remains in-keeping with the character, while adding a modern twist to it. The proposal seeks to restore the symmetry lost throughout the years as a result of various previous extensions and alterations. The contemporary use of tiling 'wrapping' around the roof and the wall junctions retains the existing bungalow's eaves height throughout the elevations, while creating an appearance that feels simultaneously traditional and modern.
