Located to the east of Port Seton, the existing property is a detached 1930s single-storey bungalow that has undergone a series of ad hoc extensions and alterations over the years.

 

The clients sought to modernise and rationalise the internal layout while adding new living and bedroom spaces to better suit contemporary family life. The proposed design responds with three key moves aimed at maximising daylight and enhancing connections to the outdoors:

​

1. Reconfiguring the ground floor to create a new entrance and hall.

2. Extending laterally to provide a generous new living area.

3. Adding a rear first-floor extension to accommodate new bedroom space.

 

Thermal upgrades will bring the entire property in line with—or beyond—current standards wherever feasible, ensuring a comfortable and energy-efficient home.

 

The proposals received planning consent in December 2022.
