Chadwicks
Brockenhurst, New Forest
This contemporary house extension in Brockenhurst, designed by DUA Architecture, exemplifies how modern design can transform a traditional home while celebrating its character. Built over 80 years ago, the original property required a fresh approach to meet modern expectations for light, space, and open-plan living. Rather than imitating the existing style, our design provides a refined contemporary counterpoint, contrasting beautifully with the traditional architecture.
The new extension features generous glazing, creating bright, spacious interiors that connect seamlessly to the garden. By combining modern materials, clean lines, and thoughtful detailing, the extension enhances the old building’s charm while expressing a distinct, 21st-century architectural identity.
At DUA Architecture, we believe that the best way to complement a historic property is through design honesty - creating something timeless, beautifully proportioned, and true to its era.
