Duffryn Avenue - Complete Remodelling & Extension
‘ Romy was an amazing choice for our house renovation. Her ideas were imaginative and beautiful as well as being practical and fulfilling the brief! She was calm and positive throughout and managed our anxieties as well as any glitches. I would be happy to recommend her to anyone. ‘
Dr. Eloise Dawe
Like many of our clients, Eloise and her family had just purchased the detached 1960s house knowing it did not quite fit the demands of her growing family, her life style and social interests. The existing ground floor was too small and restricted to provide the space needed for contemporary living.
A complete and total reconfiguration of both ground and first floor layouts led to a large single storey extension as well as an additional bedroom in a two storey side extension.
The generous ground floor now accommodates a boot and shower room near the improved front entry, and a play area with steps leading into the kitchen. The sloping site allowed us to achieve beautifully high ceilings for the kitchen-dining area. The garden extension is largely glazed to maximise natural daylight in this new living accommodation and enhances the connection with the garden in a more engaging and delightful way.
Whilst the front extension is in keeping with the existing style of the house, the new garden extension is a reflection of the contemporary lifestyle the clients are embracing and includes a flat roof. This solution was also considered most appropriate as it reduces the impact on the garden view, viewed from within the owners’ garden itself but also from neighbouring gardens, compared to a duo-pitched or single pitched roof.
Testimonial : Project: Blaen-Y-Coed, Radar:
‘We have never done a building project like this before and as soon as we spoke to Romy, her experience, professionalism and calm approach shone through which was exactly what we needed. She worked to understand our requirements and needs from the project and was always clear and precise in her advice and explanations. She has great ideas and our final plans are so much better due the impact she has had. We particularly appreciated her approach when it came to certain challenges that needed multiple inputs. She is very organised and her Project Manager approach to these situations solved them quickly and with the best outcome. We look forward to working with Romy again in the future whether it be on this project or the next and we would recommend her to all.’

Testimonial : Project: Memorial Hospital Site, Cardigan:
‘The re-development of the former memorial hospital in Cardigan to create a regional office and new older person housing was a flagship project for us. We needed a partner that would understand the sensitivity and complexity involved and Romy was great. She took the time to get to know us and the quality of her work and interpretation of our requirements was excellent.’
