Case Study – an infill extension can unlock the flow of the house when you already have an extended footprint…
Here is a case study where the existing house had already been extended and altered – however the home did not make sense for a modern family. Where the house had been extended an infill extension with some carfefully considered alterations maximised the potential of this family home. A solution was found to deliver the client’s wish list. At 7 Design, we have worked with many commercial and consumer clients. We have assisted in the design process at all stages and have abundant knowledge and expertise on what is required to get the job done. Our focus is making your home perfect – reaching it’s true potential. All within a budget and timeframe that’s right for you. We begin by 3d scanning your property with 8k photography. Then with this measure we create a digital twin, showing and visualising options for you until you are sure in what you want to achieve. We then move on to technical delivery and contract matters to get your project built on time and on budget.
Utilising an infill extension with some careful demolition and opening up of the existing house footprint to carefull craft a transformed family home…
Our client like many people feel comfortable in the home they already live in, yet they need more space and feel cramped by their existing layout.
This is where our team excel – let our Architect give you ideas that are transformational.
Our dolls house process let’s you evaluate various design options before you commit to technical design and statutory approvals. We are here for you through these later design stages however we know that the more time and energy spent at this intial concept phase will pay dividends as we progress through the design build process.
From the intial ‘walk and talk’ and consultations from the architect – key points of the existing plan will be identified for further review and illustration of potential ideas. Here we see that a side infill may unlock the flow of the house from entrance to the rear garden.
Carefully considered changes to the already extended plan result in a better flow of the house. Previously the kitchen was in the centre hall position which causes difficulty living in the house and accessing the original footprint to the already extended garden area.

Although desinging from the plan up is natural it’s important to consider the overall massing of the house and how this effects the overall balance of the proposals.

The doll’s house illustrations allow for the evaluation of proposals. A collaboration between the client and architect is key to the best outcomes.
Working into the plan proposals, it’s important to step back and review the interior design, the look and feel of the layouts such as the kitchen and dining areas related to the open plan living with views to the garden. Through review of the interior visuals you can determine if the room sizies are correct in the overall balancing of the floor plan.
