Some of our more recent projects.

Our client's vision was to create a forever home, and alongside Kris from Falcon Construction Management Contractors, we brought that dream to life. The transformation included a single-storey rear extension with a bespoke lantern rooflight, bringing in natural light and enhancing the kitchen/dining/living space. We also added two-storey extensions to both the front and rear of the house, creating three spacious bedrooms, a large master suite with a walk-in wardrobe, and an ensuite bathroom. At the heart of the home is a stunning two-storey open void, featuring an oak floating staircase and an elegant chandelier that adds a dramatic touch and complements the spacious design. The design is symmetrical, modern, and classy, creating a striking and timeless appearance.

This riverside home has been completely remodelled and extended to provide a beautiful home for our clients. The original Victorian converted boathouse has had a contemporary make over with the addition of a modern side extension, raised to avoid any future flooding.

Our brief was to relocate the awkward existing side 'front door' to the front of the house as well, as increase the floor area of the property. We achieved this by installing a beautiful oak framed porch and the addition of a two story rear extension. Vaulted ceilings in the new stylish bathrooms and bedrooms allow natural light to flood in and create a sense of space. Wooden cladding has been added to the rear the house which gives a modern and sleek look. Overall this project has given our clients a beautiful contemporary home which will suit their evolving family.

A thoroughly modern family house in Binfield Heath. This project was planned pre lockdown. Fortunately, the contractors were able to proceed with scaled back construction throughout this tricky and uncertain period, working closely with our clients to complete this beautiful house to an extremely high standard. Accommodation is arranged over 3 floors with a central atrium that floods the home with natural light with a floor area approaching 4500ft². Aside from careful planning, detailing, materials and architecture sustainable features are utilised throughout. The project is testimony to our client’s tenacity.

HAA helped our clients to transform their 4 bedroom house into a truly stunning refurbished and extended family home. Working with what can be described as brick and tiled traditional house we grafted on modern rear extension. The additional space has transformed the property and it is now spacious and flooded with light. A brand new kitchen and interior compliment the improvements.

Our brief was to update and modernise this property to suit a young growing family’s needs. The build comprised of the refurbishment, remodelling and extension of the main house, followed by a new detached garage block with ancillary accommodation over. The site is a sensitive one, being on the edge of the historic Marlow Common Woods, a protected area, as well as being in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Aside from using fairly indigenous materials it was decided to give the property a contemporary lift by cladding some of the exterior with burnt Larch. The interior spaces are lofty and dramatic.
