Description:
A delightful private residential project in Leamington Spa, where the clients wanted to completely reimagine their existing dwelling on Cubbington Road. The property had previously been subjected to poorly conceived alterations by others, resulting in a fragmented layout. Unwanted fractures existed between dining, food preparation, and social spaces, creating awkward pinch points—particularly upon the arrival and congregation of guests.
Unity Architects were appointed as house extension architects and empowered the homeowners to take back control of their environment. They needed a dwelling that seamlessly satisfied day-to-day family life while gracefully accommodating regular social interactions, allowing them to remain in the location they loved.
An intensive constraints and opportunities analysis revealed that below-ground infrastructure and the existing foundation pattern precluded traditional ground-level extensions. Consequently, our design response was predominantly internal, achieving a luxurious transformation with zero footprint growth.
To resolve the disjointed layout, our team introduced spatial generosity and openness to allow fluid interplay between adjacent zones. We implemented a central circulation axis—a 'spinal strategy'—that eliminated sticking points and efficiently linked the front of the home directly to the private rear garden. In addition to structural space planning, careful assessment of natural light ensures optimal penetration while mitigating unwanted solar glare. The result transcends the building's previous state, escalating the architectural experience with poise, elegance, and understated confidence.
The Cubbington Road project perfectly demonstrates how exceptional design can unlock a building’s value, both experientially and financially, without the need to expand its external footprint. Whether creatively adapting an existing dwelling or undertaking a brand new scheme, Unity Architects brings uncompromising standards to every commission.
The breakdown of architectural considerations above demonstrates the attention to detail that is expected of luxury residential architects. The multifaceted and entwinned considerations are balanced with one another to generate a coherent and comprehensive architectural vision.
The result is a beautiful space for modern living.
