Residential Architecture · House Renovation · Contemporary Extension · Interior Remodelling · Lytham St Annes
Project Description
7 Church Drive is a comprehensive residential renovation and extension project in Lytham St Annes, Lancashire, designed by Chartered Architect Joel Firth.
The architectural design transforms the existing property through a complete reorganisation of its internal accommodation, creating a more open, connected and contemporary family home.
Central to the project is the redesign of the house’s circulation, incorporating a new staircase and opening up previously separated rooms to establish a generous open-plan family living space.
The refurbishment extends throughout the property, introducing contemporary architectural detailing, improved spatial relationships and new full-height glazed elements that bring natural light deep into the interior and strengthen connections with the garden.
The project demonstrates how thoughtful architectural intervention can fundamentally transform an existing house, improving its functionality, spatial quality and relationship with its surroundings.
Survey & Site Appraisal
Assessment of the existing property, internal accommodation, circulation, structural arrangement and relationship with external spaces to identify opportunities for renovation and extension.
Concept Design
Development of the architectural concept to reorganise the existing accommodation, introduce a new staircase and create larger interconnected living spaces.
The proposals explore the removal of internal divisions, improved circulation and the integration of contemporary extensions and glazing within the existing building.
Interior Design
Comprehensive reworking of the internal spatial arrangement, including the principal family living areas, staircase and circulation spaces.
The design brings together contemporary materials, architectural detailing and full-height glazing to establish a cohesive interior throughout the refurbished property.
Architectural Extension
Design of new extensions and glazed elements to complement the existing house while creating additional accommodation and improved connections between internal and external spaces.
The contemporary interventions introduce natural light, openness and a distinctive architectural character.
Planning
Development of architectural proposals for the renovation and extension of the existing property, considering the scale, appearance and relationship of the new elements to the original house and surrounding residential setting.
