With husband and wife both hailing from France, these homeowners were keen to create a guest bedroom that their friends across the channel wouldn’t be able to resist. Enter the architects at Resi. Here’s how we helped these citizens of the world find a touch of French elegance within their Lambeth abode.
More bedroom space
Firstly, they wanted to use the loft to create a new bedroom, complete with an en-suite - a great investment for any home. They were also keen to get in plenty of built-in storage and to have their bathroom be complete with all those modern touches, such as a walk-in shower.
With this list in hand, our team set about transforming this once dead space into a guest haven. We not only managed to include everything the homeowners were after but also filled this bedroom with plenty of natural light, thanks to some gorgeous set of skylights and a Juliet balcony.
Their experience
“We were never that concerned about what the outside of our extension looked like,” the homeowners told us after the build was complete. “ but both of our neighbours have extended into the loft and ours clearly looks the best!”
On using Resi for their project, the couple also said…
“We found Resi through Houzz and were struck by the good reviews for the company. They helped to convince us that we would be in safe hands. I understand why some people might be put off by not meeting face-to-face, but the way Resi worked really suited our busy lives. We immediately like the functionality of the platform. It was brilliant to be able to upload our inspiration ideas. We could brainstorm, but keep everything in one place - no more pieces of lost paper!”
Working with an architect
“When it came to the consultation with our designer, we could screen share while discussing the plans on a conference call. He was able to make corrections online as we were talking, which was ideal. He was good at taking in our suggestions and tweaking things that we felt needed further improvement. Resi dealt with planning for us, across the holiday season and it was great that we didn’t have to worry about it. We found Resi extremely convenient.
"We were so happy with the builder that Resi recommended. They were brilliant and completed the whole project in seven weeks, without any delays and to the highest standard. Finding a reliable builder is really tricky, so it was very useful that Resi was able to help us with that.”
