Bungalow

Large numbers of bungalows built in the 1970s and 1980s sit within generous plots in great locations. They offer excellent opportunities for dramatic transformation but the original structures can be poor quality, badly insulated and require significant renovation to bring them up to standard and make them suitable for modern family living.

At Howie Architects we are regularly commissioned to look at converting bungalows with extensions to the rear, side, front and very often upwards to create a first floor level for added bedroom space and bath or shower room.
