Commissioned by a local property developer, this project involved the complete conversion of a former dance studio into two individual residential properties, transforming a single non-residential building into two modern homes.
The existing building required extensive structural alteration and internal reconfiguration to create practical residential layouts within a particularly restricted footprint. A substantial extension was constructed to provide additional accommodation, incorporating a new pitched roof structure and allowing the kitchen and living areas to be positioned towards the rear of the property.
Structural steelwork was introduced to support the existing building where new openings were formed and to integrate the original structure with the new extension. The conversion also required careful consideration of the separating structure between the two dwellings, with acoustic performance and noise transfer forming an important part of the construction.
The properties were completed throughout to create bright, practical homes, with new kitchens, bathrooms and external areas forming part of the overall transformation. The finished development demonstrates how an unconventional commercial building can be comprehensively reconfigured and extended to create valuable residential accommodation on a constrained site.
