St Bees Extension
At St Bees, Cumbria, the picturesque views of the sea serve as the perfect backdrop for a breathtaking home extension. The family sought to transform their ground-floor living spaces and expand their family bathroom on the first floor. This included replacing a deteriorating extension with a new, modern addition to focus on the stunning sea views.
Our team at Architecta conducting a comprehensive feasibility study of the existing home and exploring various extension options for the family before we take the design to planning.

Existing ground floor plan
The existing ground floor plan features a living area situated at the front of the property, with a kitchen located towards the rear. The goal is to optimise the kitchen space to accommodate multiple functions while maximising views of the sea.
Proposed ground floor plan
The proposed ground floor plan introduces additional living space at the rear, featuring bifold doors that offer stunning views over the sea and new deck area of the garden. This design seamlessly connects the house, opening up the floor plan to connect the cozy sitting room by the fireplace in the front to the spacious entertaining area in the back. Currently, the garage is only accessible externally, and there is no downstairs toilet, the proposal includes an internal connection to the garage and the addition of a downstairs toilet.
