planning approval May 2024
actual project cost confidential for client disclosure
In late 2020, our clients approached ARCHIBUILD for a cost estimate to build a two-storey and single-storey rear extension for their 1950s semi-detached home in Gosport, Hampshire.
They had secured planning permission for a design by another architect and were searching for a home extension builder in Hampshire to bring their vision to life.
Before costings could be prepared, the COVID-19 pandemic delayed the project. However, this pause provided an opportunity to reassess the design, leading to a far more personalizedand functional home.
Through discussions, it became clear that the original proposal didn’t fully meet their expectations. They had been led to believe it was their only option due to planning constraints.
At ARCHIBUILD, we reimagined the extension, crafting a design that better reflected their lifestyle. 3D visualizations ensured clarity and confidence in every decision before starting contruction.

Open-plan living isn’t just about removing walls—it’s about creating a seamless, well-balanced space that enhances daily life. At ARCHIBUILD, we design open-plan layouts that feel spacious yet cohesive, ensuring natural movement between kitchen, dining, and living areas.
By carefully considering zoning, sightlines, and natural light, we create spaces that feelconnected while maintaining a sense of purpose for each area. Thoughtful positioning of furniture, lighting, and architectural features ensures that the space flows effortlessly, making it both practical and inviting.
The original design included a mix of single and two-story extensions. The ground floor extension extended 6 meters deep, resulting in oversized, inefficient spaces that added unnecessary costs and were difficult to furnish effectively. Meanwhile, the two-story extension primarily prioritized the master bedroom, compromising the fourth bedroom and creating a cramped, awkward layout for both the family bathroom and en-suite.
ARCHIBUILD’s revised layout maximized space efficiency within a smaller footprint, ensuring every room was functional and well-proportioned. We carefully design each space with accurate furniture placement and movement zones, guaranteeing that once built, clients can use their homes comfortably and without compromise.
ARCHIBUILD were engaged to provide additional interior design services during the construction stage of the project to help create a family bathroom, en-suite and media wall. Like many clients, they had an idea of what they wanted to achieve, but were un-sure how it could work and look.
Our clients had ambition to create an en-suite that was moody and atmospheric but were worried this might be too much for a small space.
By utilising our 3D software, product and specification experience we were able to present a detailed design for client approval including a 3D model for them to move around on a computer or smart device and 2D imagery.
