Meta Architects and builders Craft Limited have transformed this century-old Beckenham property into a cosy, modern family home. 

The extensive retrofit removed layers of outdated modifications, restoring the four-room bungalow to its original charm while adding a functional extension. Thermal modelling by Sustainable Engineering helped the client make informed decisions about energy-efficient materials. Period features were uncovered, salvaged, or recreated to maintain the property's historic character. Original stained glass was integrated into new double-glazed windows, demonstrating a seamless blend of heritage and high performance. A blower door test result of 0.38 air changes per house was achieved, a stunning result when working with an existing structure. 

Meticulous attention to detail in the design and build resulted in a home that is both energy-efficient and aesthetically pleasing, ready for the next hundred years.
