Loft Conversion, Complex Multi-Level Extension and Full House Renovation, including Floor Plan Reconfiguration.
Location: Clevedon

Overview
In a fateful encounter, these extraordinary clients became part of our esteemed Excellence family. Disheartened by their previous architectural struggles, they sought our expertise to breathe life into their vision.
Enter the scene: a majestic Victorian schoolhouse, perched above the mystical Severn estuary, a canvas ripe with potential and challenge alike.
The saga unfolds with the complete overhaul of the main level, a transformation that embraces the essence of family living in every corner. A grand dual-level entrance, a testament to the building’s heritage, now bathed in the glow of carefully crafted glazing, invites warmth and vitality into the space. At its zenith, a sanctuary awaits, boasting a contemporary studio suite with garden access and breathtaking bay views.
But the metamorphosis doesn’t end there. Walls vanish, staircases are reborn, and a sea-facing terrace emerges, a haven for leisure and entertainment alike. From floor-to-ceiling doors that frame the panoramic vistas to the intimacy of French doors leading to a secluded courtyard, every detail is a nod to modern luxury.
In the heart of the home, a new kitchen reigns supreme, a symphony of bespoke craftsmanship and timeless elegance. Where once stood a cramped space, now thrives an invaluable home office, a testament to the marriage of form and function.
Ascend to the top floor, where a dormant loft is reborn into two spacious bedrooms, linked by a sumptuous Jack and Jill bathroom. Light dances through carefully placed windows, creating an ambiance of serenity and space.
Outside, a new lower-level garage stands as a beacon of convenience, while the driveway, resplendent in sandstone hues, welcomes with open arms. Stone steps, a testament to meticulous design, beckon to the rear garden, completing the symphony of transformation.
In this tale of renewal, every detail speaks of collaboration, creativity, and the relentless pursuit of perfection.
