Medlow House, Oxshott

Overview A new ‘wing’ to a detached home with large garden that contains a master bedroom, guest suite, double garage and games room for the family. The Brief Create a new master bedroom and guest suite at first floor with separate access to the rest of the house. Work in a double garage and boot room along with a new living space focussed on play/TV/games with a bar feel. Our Solution We extended the property over two floors with a feature rear elevation overlooking the garden and pool and a continuation of the front elevation aesthetic to create a second wing to the house. A sense of continuity and grandeur were inherent in the design due to the scale. We designed in a vaulted roof to give the first-floor spaces an amazing sense of height and volume. We added a large balcony and master bedroom speciation as well as a family-bar/games space below. The emphasis was on embellishing the property and adding missing elements such as a grand master bedroom and double garage. We had to focus our design skills on the circulation so that the new areas could be accessed off the existing kitchen/diner at ground floor and existing corridor at first floor. The addition is seamless and fresh with some key ‘wow-factor’ moments weaved into the design.
