ROOFMAKER CASE STUDY Nottinghamshire Luxlite Pitched and Fixed Flat Rooflights

Helen and her husband Tom had a vision to create their dream home from a redundant canine hydrotherapy centre . As an interior designer Helen is no stranger to having a vision and creating something unique and special , however her skills were tested with this full renovation project . After a lot of hard work from Helen , Tom and their team , the existing abandoned commercial building has been converted to a stunning residential home .
Planning Finding the perfect plot of land is never easy but when Helen found her plot in the beautiful Nottinghamshire countryside , she knew it was the right choice . The bonus was there was a building she could convert into a house , the challenge being it was a redundant commercial building that had been used for canine hydrotherapy . There was still water in the pool when she acquired the land . To create a residential property the building needed not only a full renovation but other elements such as heat , electric , water etc .
The extent of the renovation project meant Helen and Tom had to go into a rental property nearby . They spent many months working hard to clear rubbish and debris so that the builders could concentrate on the building . The brief was to create a three-bedroom , twobathroom single story home with open plan living spaces . The aesthetic is minimal Scandi inspired with black cladding .
