“ By demolishing the existing building , the new home would be classified as a Self- Build project which does not attract VAT . This reduced the cost to the homeowner by 20 %. When compared against a renovation project which would be charged VAT , this was a more favourable approach .” — Sebastian Sandler , XUL ’ s Managing Director
This social family wanted an open plan kitchen , dining and family area that would allow them to entertain . They also needed a large playroom for the kids that would work with them as they grow . The house has a beautiful garden but the existing arrangement was not making the most of the views so it was important to open up as much of the rear spaces to the garden and to create a view of the garden from the front entrance so that light carried throughout . The lower level at the rear provided an ideal opportunity to add a basement looking out on to the garden .
