We are delighted to announce that work is well under way on this spacious and contemporary renovation/ extension set within the seaside town of Ramsgate. The project was first conceived in 2007 thought a client requirement create a new open pan kitchen and family space on the ground floor. We are excited to be following construction progress and look forward to seeing completion during February 2012.

ES81 has recently received planning approval following the submission of plans to the Local Authority on behalf of our clients for a new family dwelling. The internal layout has been devised to work with our clients family oriented lifestyle. Fundamentally, it allows for a more open-plan living environment in which to supervise and oversee the activities of young children. Indeed, it also permits more space should guests wish to stay and offers more privacy from circulation areas / common spaces associated with the requirements and needs of a young family and their guests.

Due to the topography of the site, we have embraced the ideas established in a previously approved scheme. However, some changes have been made to offer improvements to benefit overall comfort and use. The proposal is designed to achieve Code for Sustainable Homes Level 3 by introducing sustainable measures in line with government guidance.

ES81 has recently received planning approval following the submission of plans to the Local Authority on behalf of our Clients for a small extension to an existing property within a sensitive location in a Conservation Area. The extension has been carefully designed to be subservient to the main property and to limit visual impact upon the contextual setting. The overall appearance has been designed to be respectful to the visual ethos and the overall architectural composition of the existing property and its sensitive surroundings within a Conservation Area

ES81 has recently been appointed to design a “mini contemporary African village” outside the town of Onitsha, in southern Nigeria, on family land. The existing plot will be converted into a mini village comprising one main house and 3-4 small guest houses. It is intended that the project will be designed and detailed to UK standards in collaboration with UK based consultants.

There will be a small single multi‐functional personal care / business area and there is a further requirement for outdoor showers adjacent to the guest accommodation and an outdoor kitchen and dining area adjacent. The Clients brief calls for a modern sustainable design that references traditional Nigerian architecture, design and decoration.
