Project Overview: Conversion of Detached Three-Storey HMO into Self-Contained Flats

This project involved the transformation of an existing three-storey detached HMO into four self-contained flats, featuring comprehensive internal and external alterations. The scope of work included:

Demolition of the existing ground floor side extension, rear conservatory, and outbuildings.
Removal and replacement of internal partitions and party walls.
New door and window placements.
Addition of a ground floor corner-infill extension with a flat roof, complemented by a walk-out balcony above.
Installation of walk-out balconies on the front elevation and Juliette balconies with glass balustrades on the first floor.
Introduction of rooflights, dormer structures, and a walk-out terrace on the second floor.
Creation of new communal spaces, including a staircase for access.
Provision of an integral bin store, separate external bike store, and a garden room.
Front parking spaces with updated external surfacing, drainage, and boundary improvements.

The project also had new render and cladding applied to the exterior walls, along with the installation of a new slate roofing finish.

29 Crossways

Demolition of the existing house and outbuildings. Construction of six new detached two-story, four-bedroom houses with traditional architecture, each featuring integral garages. The houses will have pitched roofs, a mix of render and cladding on the exterior, and include design elements such as dormers, roof lights, porches, bay windows, flat roofs, and roof lanterns. The project also includes the development of an access road, driveways, parking areas, hard and soft landscaping, boundary treatments, and a single carport structure.

Wimborne Road

Planning approval was obtained for converting redundant retail store into two self-contained 2-bedroom, 3-person flats. Full building regulation working drawings and specifications were prepared to facilitate this change of use.

Glenair Avenue Poole

Aspire completed the detailed planning application and working drawings for the site development, collaborating closely with planning consultants. The project involved demolishing a two-bedroom detached bungalow to make way for two semi-detached 2.5-storey houses and one detached 2.5-storey house. The new properties are designed to blend with the local context, showcasing a traditional vernacular style. Each of the three 3-bedroom houses features open-plan living, dining, and kitchen areas, along with a separate utility room and a snug/study.

Fleur-de-lis Marlborough

The scheme consists of 28 one and two bed sheltered living apartments. The site is located in central Marlborough, as the photos show the project is complete with units being rapidly sold.

Foxholes Rd

An existing substantial 1930’s property was demolished and replaced with a contemporary, pitched roof flat scheme. Extensive use of vaulted ceilings within the top floor accommodation and recessed balconies with a well considered palette of materials creates a landmark building within the street scene.

28 Stour Road

We achieved planning approval under delegated powers for a contemporary ‘landmark’ building of 12 apartments on this prominent corner of Christchurch. We worked closely with the client and contractor to successfully deliver a high quality development within the clients budget.

41 Stour Road

We were instructed to design a contemporary flat scheme in place of the existing tired dwelling. The largely glazed proposed penthouse will boast stunning view across Christchurch to the priory and beyond. The application is currently with the local authority.

Clarke’s Yard

Our client came to us with an extant approval for a mixed use contemporary scheme. We maximized the site by gaining permission for a full residential scheme. These dwellings ranged from one bedroom flats to four bedroom family homes. Our approved scheme was much more sympathetic to the neighbouring properties and worked in harmony with the local conservation area.
