Some progress photos of a spectacular local conversion project we have onsite currently. In one of our site meetings our client asked if it would be possible to put a split in the roof canopy to add that little bit of extra detail! Now that was a very good call, we all know that success its in the detail! From a decayed rusted cow shed c. 5,000 sq.ft of space set in 3-acres is currently being turned into a modern, chic luxury home. #houseextension #harrogate #harrogatelifestyle #NewBuild #profit #houserenovation #contemporydesign #localbusiness #bespokekitchens #northyorkshire #planning #luxuryliving #bespokearchitecture #luxurylife #bespokekitchen #architecture #development #ripon #clients #timbercladding #planningapproval #cedarcladding #greenroof #greenroofing #sedumroof #greenroofs #sedum #greenrooftop #timberbuildings #zincroofing

Flash back.....Daniel Powell Studio were approached by our client Yorkshire Real Estate Ltd and commissioned to re-develop this stunning and incredibly significant Grade 2 Listed Victorian Villa in the center of Ripon. Its current use was commercial, I.T offices for the local authority. We were asked to sympathetically design a series of apartments throughout the 2 floors and loft space, this led to a complete loft conversion. We completed a full measured surveyed and designed the entire project, planning and listed building consent fully granted by Harrogate Borough Council. Building regulations and a complete tender package prepared by ourselves. We took the roles of Project management and contracts administrator to deliver an incredibly successful and profitable 11 apartment redevelopment in the heart of Ripon.

Our Reviews
"Daniel produced all the plans for our extension and applied for planning permission for us which was a real comfort. He guided us through the whole process, including the engineer visit and pulling together a tender. We were especially pleased that he sent the tender to 3 of his recommended builders as we had no experience of who to use in the Ripon area. In 2021 when we approached Daniel processes were delayed due to Covid so it all took quite a long time, especially with the engineers report. Daniel was always responsive during this time which was very reassuring. Fortunately the builder we chose was able to start relatively quickly and we now have a beautiful new kitchen/dining/day room extension with bi-fold doors which makes the most of the views of our garden."
