A contemporary home extension in Cramlington
Architectural Design Insights | Alistair Crerar
How Acre Design transformed a Cramlington home with a contemporary master suite, modern façade, and open-plan living.
Our clients in Cramlington approached Acre Design with a vision: to modernise their existing property and create a home that not only worked better for daily life but also embraced the beauty of its countryside setting.
The design brief
The key requirement was to extend above the existing garage, creating a luxurious new master suite. We proposed a vaulted ceiling to enhance the sense of space, paired with large glazed elements carefully positioned to capture the sweeping views across open countryside.
In addition to the first-floor extension, the property’s front elevation will be reimagined. By introducing contemporary materials — principally high-quality render and cladding — the home will take on a striking new character, blending elegance with a refreshed architectural identity.
Enhancing lifestyle through thoughtful design
Internally, a single-storey rear extension will transform the ground floor into a light-filled, open-plan living area — ideal for entertaining family and friends. The reconfiguration brings flow and flexibility to the home, ensuring it meets the demands of modern living while retaining warmth and character.
A home redefined
This project is not simply about adding space; it’s about redefining the way the property works. From a bold new exterior to carefully considered interiors, the design will give our clients a home that feels truly bespoke, rooted in its landscape, and ready for the future.
