Countesswells, Aberdeen
Aberdeen
The property located in Countesswells has been extended and adapted improving the usability and flexibility of the house by creating a new family kitchen area, meanwhile converting and adapting the old kitchen area into an annex suite.
The main works included a new kitchen and utility room extension added to the rear of the house, allowing the old kitchen and utility rooms to be adapted into living accommodation for elderly parents. The new spacious kitchen/family room opens directly onto the garden, providing excellent views across the neighbouring countryside. Numerous further alterations including a replacement sunroom extension to the living room, along with other minor adjustments throughout the rest of the house were made to enable the home to be better suited for a family with growing children.

Scope
JAMstudio were appointed to assist the client with concepts and designs to extend and adapt their house providing a new kitchen and family room along with an accommodation suite for elderly relatives
Environment
Wanting to maximise the connection with the outside large sliding doors were installed leading to a new slate patio which connects the new living spaces with the garden. Panoramic slot windows were installed in the kitchen and utility to provide picture-framed views to the outside
Fact
Bespoke joinery, timber floors, timber cladding and large glazed sliding doors define the old and new parts of the house with a modern finish. The new kitchen includes the installation of an Aga range. The annex suite includes a living room, bedroom and en-suite.
Technical
JAMstudio produced compensation calculations for overall thermal performance and heat loss. These were required due to the extent of the glazing proposed exceeding permitted allowances stated by building standards. Wall, roof and floor insulation thicknesses were increased to enable the building to comply with standards.
