The Journey
358 Nutgrove Avenue was designed to provide high-quality accommodation for an elderly family member while allowing them to remain close to the support of the wider household. The proposal introduces a carefully planned single-storey extension that delivers a fully self-contained one-bedroom granny flat with its own entrance, private outdoor space and accessible internal layout, promoting both independence and day-to-day comfort.
Accessibility and flexibility were central to every design decision. Level access, generous circulation spaces and an open-plan arrangement create a safe and practical home that can adapt to changing needs over time. A connecting utility room maintains a convenient link with the existing house while allowing the accommodation to function independently or be reintegrated into the main dwelling in the future if required.
