We are pleased to see one of our completed residential design projects has recently come back onto the property market, marking a satisfying full-circle moment for the design team. Originally completed some time ago, the scheme has now been listed for sale, providing an opportunity to reflect on how the design vision has translated into a finished home that continues to perform well in the market.
The project was developed through the concept and planning stages to unlock the full potential of the property, incorporating a wrap-around single-storey extension alongside a new two-storey rear extension. The design focused on improving both space and functionality while creating a home that feels open, bright, and closely connected to its outdoor setting.
Key features of the completed scheme include a spacious open-plan kitchen, dining and living area forming the central hub of the home, strong visual and physical connections to the garden, a new master bedroom suite with en-suite facilities, and improved family living spaces designed to maximise natural light and flexibility throughout. The result is a home that balances modern living requirements with practical, everyday functionality.
Looking back at the project, the early concept sketches and planning drawings remain a valuable part of the design story, showing how initial ideas evolved into a fully resolved scheme that was successfully delivered on site. The comparison between concept, planning, and completion continues to highlight the importance of thoughtful residential extension design in achieving long-term value and usability.
J.R. Construction & Renovations Ltd carried out the build phase, delivering the project with care and attention to detail, ensuring the original design intent was faithfully translated into the finished home.

"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“We wanted a small extension to the rear of our property, to create an open-plan kitchen dining area. Vic and Matt helped us understand what could be achieved ticking all our wish list and more by also adding a utility and downstairs toilet creating a space we didn’t think was possible. They supported us at every stage of the project through to completion, providing their expertise every step of the way, making the whole process painless. We are really pleased with the result, turning our house into our dream family home.”

"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Our garden is long, narrow and lies along a steep, exposed slope. It is difficult to do anything meaningful with it. Vic Johnson and Andi Clews have developed plans for our garden which should result in something very special, with stunning entrance, privacy and exciting trails throughout the garden. Can’t wait to see it completed!
"Paul Griffiths
"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Many thanks to Johnson Design for delivering exactly what we wanted: A bright, flexible, modern space which brings the garden and the lovely views of the upper Corvedale into our home, without losing anything of the character and warmth of our historic stone farmhouse. The family home of nearly 30 years has been greatly enhanced, giving a perfect blend of old and new, and the perfect venue for entertaining and family get-togethers. The extension was the proud focus for our wedding celebration and garden party for more than 100 guests over the Bank Holiday weekend, and bought in more admiring comments than we could count!

"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Thanks for all your support with the process. I am so glad I went with you for the design and project management, it’s been complicated with the house being listed and the location etc. I have felt confident throughout the process, thanks to your service. I am very pleased with my much improved home and I know it would have been I very challenging and stressful process without your help.
