MJH Architects are delighted to announce that planning approval has been granted for a contemporary single storey rear extension at Orchard House. The property is located within the Upton Grey Conservation Area and will provide an exciting open plan living space to a bespoke 1980's Scandinavian style house. The key features of the design will be the large roof lantern and extensive slim profile glazing, which will maximise the wonderful views of the garden. Internally, the extension will form part of new open plan kitchen, dining and living area. The project is planned to start on site later this year.

MJH Architects' have secured planning permission for a rear and side extension at Royal Drive in Bordon. The new addition to the house will create an open plan kitchen and dining area that will match the client's lifestyle aspirations. Currently, the house layout is a series of separate rooms based on function, which is not compatible with modern life. The proposal will improve the layout of the house allowing for better circulation, communication and access to and from the garden. Work is due to start on site later this year.

MJH Architects' have secured planning approval for a detached garage and associated landscaping works in Medstead.  The property was without a garage and had a very steep incline for limited parking that only allowed for forward entry.  The proposal reworked the exiting landscape to create an elevated parking area with retaining walls to allow for forward entry and exit. The site was outside of the local authority settlement boundary.

MJH Architects will be participating in the annual RIBA Henley-on-Thames Design Day on March 7th at the Town Hall. If you are considering an extension, alteration or new build project, please come and visit us and have a chat as we will be able to advise you on potential issues, costs and the various stages of a design and build project. We look forward to seeing on the 7th!

MJH has submitted a planning application for renovation works to one of Southsea seafront’s most prominent residential buildings. St Martins House is one of the most striking buildings in the Southsea Seafront Conservation Area. The concrete framed ten-storey block, with its distinctive white painted finish, dates from the 1960s and is one of the best examples of residential modernism in the south of England. The new works will feature replacement balustrades that will be sympathetic to the modular elements of the existing elevation.
