Birch Garden

Birch Garden is a contemporary garden room extension and internal reconfiguration of a 1980s bungalow in Devon. This transformation elevates the home’s workability, light, and spatial flow—turning a dated property into a modern, open-plan space tailored for family life and connection to the outdoors.

The project exemplifies how considered design can unlock new value in existing homes, enhancing quality of life, property function, and visual appeal without increasing architectural impact on the surrounding area.
