We had an interesting opportunity with this project to take the staircase out of the house altogether, thus freeing up space internally, and to construct a new stair tower on the side of the building. We chose to do the new staircase in steel and glass with fully glazed walls to both sides of the tower. The new tower is therefore a lightweight structure and allows natural light to pass right through the extension ... and at the same time affording dynamic vistas to the north and south as one walks up and down the staircase. By removing the staircase for the internal core of the house, we have been free to use that space for useful accommodation, and therefore to make better us of the space within the house. We have modernised the house comprehensively and introduce large areas of glazing to bring as much light into the property as possible.

This home, located in Seal Beach, CA has gone from blending-in to standing-out. Our team of professionals worked to repair any damages to the stucco and wood framing before painting the exterior of the home. The primary purpose of elastomeric paint is to form a waterproof protection barrier against any form of moisture. Elastomeric paint is a high build coating that is designed to protect and waterproof stucco and masonry surfaces. These coatings help protect your stucco from wind-driven rain and can create a waterproofing system that protects your stucco if applied correctly.

The rear garden to this imposing Grade II listed house has been re-designed by DHV Architects to create a better connection of the house with the garden. A new metal bridge links the hall floor with the garden. A generous light well and patio have been added to bring light and air into lower ground floor. Two windows have been converted into doors at lower ground floor level. The sleek sandstone patio visually links the garden with the house.

Our client purchased a group of derelict workshops in a cul-de-sac in Kennington. The site was purchased with planning permission to create 6 residential townhouses overlooking a communal courtyard. Granit was appointed to discharge a number of planning conditions and to prepare a builder’s works package for the contractor. In addition to this, Granit was able to add value to the development by reconfiguring the scheme under non-material amendment. The basements were extended beneath the entire courtyard increasing the overall GIA by over 50sqm. This required the clever integration of a water attenuation system within courtyard to accommodate 12 cubic metres of rainwater. The surface treatment of both the elevations and courtyard were also addressed and decorative brickwork introduced to unify and improve the overall aesthetics of the scheme as a whole. Internally, the units themselves were also re-configured. This allowed for the creation of large vaulted open plan living/dining area on the 1st floor.
