Highcliffe, Dorset

This house renovation in Highcliffe, Dorset, showcases how a tired bungalow can be transformed into a spacious, modern family home. DUA Architecture oversaw a comprehensive redesign that included replacing the existing roof to create new first-floor accommodation, reconfiguring the ground floor layout, and adding a rear garden extension to enhance living space and natural light.

The renovation introduces vaulted ceilings to the new first-floor rooms and rear extension, adding drama, height, and a sense of openness throughout. Large windows frame the surrounding greenery, connecting the home beautifully to its garden setting.

Carefully designed to respect the architectural character of the original bungalow, the renovation combines thoughtful detailing, efficient use of space, and a refined modern aesthetic. The result is a high-quality transformation that delivers a bright, spacious, and contemporary home - perfectly suited to life in coastal Dorset.
