As the domestic architects on this project, we designed and achieved the necessary approvals for a new build property to replace an existing bungalow in Horfield, Bristol. Using the same footprint of the existing dwelling, WANA sought to add another level and create a contemporary family home. The shell was manufactured off site by a dedicated timber frame company and finished by the contractor on site. The combination of timber cladding and render create a stylish, completely unique home.

WANA was approached by the clients on this project to design a light filled infill extension to their Victorian terraced property. We talked through and ascertained the necessary permissions for a light touch glazed slither to the side of the property- bringing light as deep into the plan as possible. Further flourishes include celebrating the structure by exposing the steelwork and a charred larch rear elevation. The finished project met and exceeded the client’s brief and provides a light filled, open plan kitchen/dining space fully connected to the courtyard garden.

WANA designed and obtained the necessary permissions for a full refurbishment of a flat, including loft conversion and terrace, in a Central Bristol Conservation Area. The client came to us in need of domestic architects to give inspiration to rework his flat and maximise the unused roof space. We flipped the property upside down, with bedrooms downstairs and the main living area upstairs; so that views over Bristol’s iconic Harbour could be enjoyed from the living spaces - including a hidden terrace.

WANA designed and obtained the necessary permissions for a single storey rear extension to replace an existing outrigger in Knowle, Bristol. Utilising the existing party wall structures, a timber framed structure was dropped in and finished in charred larch to provide a visually distinctive addition to the existing red brick dwelling. A large overhang on the flat roof provides solar shading and the rear fenestration slides to open the kitchen/diner space into a new sunken courtyard.

WANA designed and obtained necessary approvals on the modernisation of a bungalow in Knowle, Bristol. A contemporary gable extension opened up the dwelling via cascading steps to the garden space – framing views of South Bristol and offering a truly indoor/outdoor family living space.
