Project: W1554
This project involved replacing the existing building with this new Arts and Crafts country house within the conservation area. The house preserves the open character and development pattern through high quality design and workmanship. The house offers expansive and traditional spaces with modern fittings and technologies.

The completed house is designed in a modern Arts and Crafts style, as the more traditional form is prevalent in the area. The roof covering was renewed with handmade clay tiles and the walls were rendered to successfully blend the old and new parts of the house. Brick, creasing tile, and stone details were used throughout. Large format metal framed glazing was used at the rear of the house to flood the deep floor plan with natural light and to integrate the house with the mature rear garden.
Project: W1598 This project involved extensive remodelling and extensions to a post war detached country house, more than doubling the size of the property. This was a challenging brief due to site restrictions, in particular numerous mature trees in close proximity. I have no doubt at all, that the design added significant value and saleability […]

Witcher Crawford is often asked to design traditional extensions for existing buildings. This type of commission begins with a studious observation of the key characteristics of the building and its surrounding environment. The styling and detailing is then used as a basis in developing the design in order that the new work will complement the existing building. Materials are carefully selected to compliment or blend as seamlessly as possible with the existing fabric.
A well designed extension should enhance the existing building and wider area
Our traditionally styled extensions are nonetheless designed using current construction techniques in order to achieve the highest possible standards for comfort and energy efficiency.
Our designs are inspired by the building we are extending and the local vernacular to create a seamless and sensitive extension. Our in depth knowledge of construction aides us in finding creative solutions when presented with more challenging or complex projects.

Witcher Crawford’s designs for modern extensions respond to our clients’ specific living requirements. The quality of the internal environment and relationship with the outdoors are important considerations in each of our designs. Our modern designs and structures make the most of natural light, providing uplifting spaces, which bring the garden and house into closer harmony.
Our modern extensions bring new, tailored experiences to the building
Witcher Crawford’s extensions offer flexible functional spaces and encompass well detailed modern architectural solutions. Whether adding to a modern or period property, the form of design and use of materials is not restricted by historic reference. However we ensure that the new structure has a comfortable connection with the original property, adding its own visual interest.
