Our work

Design and build solutions for every home

At studioDOCHERTY, we are experienced in delivering a full range of residential construction projects. Every design is based around the individual client's property, context and requirements, but here we run through some of the typical projects the team deliver.

Extensions

Maximising the footprint of your home, we design all kinds of extensions to meet your specifications and needs

Rear Extension
A simple rear extension adds internal space to the rear of the property. Typically, planning permission allows for a 3m rear projection, making room for extended kitchen, dining and living spaces.

Side Infill
A side infill extension creates additional space into the side of a home, typically filling a cavity in the rear elevation. A very common extension on a Victorian terrace often opening up kitchen or dining spaces.

Side Return
A side return extension creates a large L-shaped form that wraps the existing structure. Often adding an extra third to the ground floor footprint, larger kitchen, utility and living spaces are provided.

Lofts

Transform an empty loft or attic into functional space with all types of conversion: rear dormer, L-shaped dormer and hip to gable

Rear Dormer
A rear dormer conversion projects vertically out of the rear roof slope to add internal space. Two rear windows typically allow light into both bedroom and
bathroom spaces.

L-shaped dormer
An L-shaped dormer connects two dormers at the corner and has the added benefit of providing more loft space. An L-shaped dormer will often only be granted via a permitted development application.

Hip-to-gable
A hip-to-gable loft conversion is a popular option for semi-detached properties with a hipped roof. It involves the construction of a vertical gable wall with a sloping roof at the front and back. A dormer can be added to allow for even more space.
