Offset Architects are so pleased with the final outcome of this replacement dwelling in Maidstone, featuring 5 bedrooms all with en-suites, office, utility room, cloakroom, double garage, outdoor kitchen/bar and private gated driveway. We were appointed at the feasibility/sketch plan stage, and have since taken the project all the way through the planning and building control process to completion.

Following an initial planning refusal based on scale and bulk, we revisited the design to reduce the roof line and overall mass, ensuring that the new proposal appears like two houses on the plot rather than one overbearing dwelling, which then achieved planning approval. The dwelling is broken up with a flat roof “link” between the two main volumes.

The property takes on a semi-traditional style with a strong symmetrical appearance, and large dormers opening up to beautiful views across the North Downs. Finished with slate roof tiles, light buff facing brick, bronze cladding/frames and an incredibly elegant and refined interior, we hope our clients will enjoy life in their new home for many years to come!
