There will be a cohesive look between the detached double garage and the timber frame home as, although built with blocks, the brickwork has been matched for consistency. The beautiful bricks, provided by Vandersanden, have an aged feel that suits the […]
The build has reached one of the most thrilling stages for the client; kitchen installation! The generous space has been meticulously planned with Scandia’s in-house kitchen designer. Detailed drawings and 3D images were generated to ensure the room was exactly how the customer had envisaged. The wall units were chosen from Schroder’s Fenix range in […]
Outside the home the new garage is currently being constructed. The reinforced concrete slab has been laid in anticipation of the blockwork to be built on top. The detached double garage will ultimately be clad in the same brick as the house with matching roof tiles, giving a look of coordination.
This self build is edging closer to completion as second fix continues. The tiling is progressing throughout the new home, with all bathroom and wet room walls currently being covered. The carpenters are progressing with the custom staircase, as well as the internal doors.
