Project Overview
Georgian House Renovation & Extension.
Eastgate House, situated in the picturesque village of Hallaton, is a Georgian gem that has been thoughtfully re-imagined. Concept Zero Architects undertook a full transformation of this period property, including a single-storey rear extension designed to connect the main house with its existing outbuildings. This extension forms the heart of the home, creating a bright and spacious open-plan family kitchen that opens seamlessly onto the garden. The project also included a comprehensive refurbishment of the house and a sensitive conversion of the outbuildings, respecting the building’s heritage while introducing contemporary functionality.
