firm chosen Dermarta Construction wasnt the cheapest, but was the one in which they had the most confidence, which was rewarded. ndrea did  of the decision-making, says rancois, who works in banking and was unable to be onsite during the day. We trust each other, and this creates saings and alue in deliery, with no unnecessary delays or changes. ndrea, who has more eibility as a business owner, oersaw day-to-day works on the property during the seen-month proect, which was completed in .


nd if the builders try to put up the costs in one place, then  say okay, so we will lose it elsewhere, adds ndrea. t sends a message. The construction of the etension was masonry, with steel-framed glazing in black. We neer considered using timber-frame, says rancois.


The couple also had to naigate council constraints put on them in the conseration area they were building in. These included keeping one side of the etension  where the utility room was originally placed  in traditional style, with a small window that matches the rench doors stylistically.


The couple also discoered ways to be cost- conscious on their interior finishes, without compromising uality. nterior designers are ery epensie, says


ndrea. rancois and  hae the same tastes, so we were our own interior designers, and planned eerything in adance. We also negotiated a lot of discounts on interior materials by selecting fewer suppliers during Coid, when the cost of


building materials rose by up to . One key area where they found saings was the kitchen. Designed in a classic galley shape, it has a long island forming one side, behind which is an open walk-through below the skylight. The kitchen cabinetry in charcoal they bought is from British firm owdens. This is then enhanced with a high-uality uartzite countertop with waterfall sides, uted stone tiles on the walls and an merican walnut oor.


t would hae been a messy gamble to ship eerything in from taly, says ndrea, who alued owdens ease of installation, using local teams. ery epensie kitchens hae long lead times, and offer poor alue for money. Consistency was an important factor when


ndrea and rancois designed their interiors. t was ery important to us that the old part of the house should retain its character while being connected to the new part in a natural progression, says rancois. This can be seen in the colours, which are from a similar palette throughout the house, and the high-uality, natural materials chosen. We alue natural materials in taly, says


ndrea. ou are more relaed you want to spend more time at home. ndrea took this to its logical conclusion when he chased the right reclaimed bricks from fie different proiders, een asking the postcode of the original house they came from to ensure consistency of the new brick walls. e was told off uite bluntly by the people selling the reclaimed bricks, laughs rancois. The couple also re-instated all si original
