This ambitious project involved the full renovation and conversion of a three-storey commercial premises (a former accountant’s office) into a modern, bespoke residential home in Burnham Market. The extensive works included the removal of internal walls, the creation of new rooms, complete rewire and redecoration throughout. A highlight is the new bedroom created within the loft space, a large modern family bathroom with a freestanding bath and a walk-in shower featuring a Crittall screen, a dedicated utility room, and a spacious open-plan kitchen living room with a central kitchen island.

The Project Brief

The client acquired a tired and outdated three-storey accountant’s office in Burnham Market with the vision of transforming it into a contemporary, comfortable family home. The brief required a complete overhaul of the interior, maximising space and light, and creating distinct yet flowing living zones. Key requirements included a new bedroom in the loft, a high-spec bathroom, a practical utility space, and an open-plan kitchen/living area suitable for modern family life.

Our Solution

Our solution involved a multi-faceted approach to convert the commercial space into a dream home:

  • Initial Demolition & Structural Planning: We meticulously planned the removal of existing commercial partitions and designed new structural layouts to accommodate the residential requirements, including the loft bedroom.
  • System Upgrades: A full electrical rewire was conducted, along with necessary plumbing and heating system installations, to bring the building up to modern residential standards.
  • Space Optimisation: The design focused on creating bright and functional spaces, from the compact yet efficient utility room to the expansive open-plan kitchen living area.
  • High-End Bathroom Design: The family bathroom was a focal point, designed with a clean, modern aesthetic, featuring the elegant freestanding bath and the stylish walk-in shower with its distinctive Crittall screen.
  • Seamless Integration: Throughout the three storeys, all new elements, from the kitchen island in the open-plan area to the loft bedroom, were integrated cohesively through careful material selection and professional finishing.
  • Comprehensive Project Management: We managed all aspects of the conversion, ensuring compliance with residential building regulations and a smooth transition from commercial to residential use.

The Result

The former accountant’s office in Burnham Market has been completely transformed into a magnificent, modern three-storey family home. The strategic removal of walls and creation of new rooms has resulted in a spacious and highly functional layout. The new loft bedroom offers a private retreat, while the large family bathroom provides a luxurious, spa-like experience. The open-plan kitchen living room, centred around the inviting island, is now the vibrant heart of the home, perfect for family interaction and entertaining. This project stands as a testament to our ability to reimagine and flawlessly execute complex commercial-to-residential conversions.
