It's what dreams are made of and nightmares kindled: Most home owners aspire to it; some take a few tentative steps and fewer still are crazy enough to go the full hog! This blog shares some of the trials and tribulations of a major redevelopment of a 1950s home through a cataclysmic transformation which retains the best of the last Century while metamorposing the property into a design classic fit for today's living.

Extension shapes up


They've run out of scaffolding so some of the stuff has been temporarily taken down and rebuilt next to the cloakroom, which is being re-designed to mirror the roof of the extension. Without the "scaffie", the true extent of the extension has become much clearer. Next week, if the current programme doesn't slip any further, work will start on the iroko cladding, with the pre-coloured white render due in the next two or three weeks.
