Sandmoor Avenue
The objective of the project was to craft a modern, sustainable and spacious home for a family of four in the sought-after Alwoodley suburb in Leeds. The renovation was focused on a modernist, sustainable structure and a vast amount of glass, to provide an open plan and cohesive space filled with natural light. The project involved the renovation of the 3,600sq ft red brick, 1930s home into an 8,000sq ft modern, luxury property. The design team included Verus Construction, Studio Map Architects and Adept Consulting Engineers. Damian Barker, Founder and CEO of Verus Construction, says of the completed project: “In the last decade,
there’s been a clear trend towards creating open plan dining areas that foster spacious and cohesive family living environments. We’ve seen the use of glass spike in popularity, naturally connecting rooms and giving homes a spacious feeling that is complemented by natural light. Cohesive materials such as brutalist concrete floors and the floor to ceiling height windows at Sandmoor Avenue have created a family home that celebrates open plan living and celebrates natural light.”
