PROJECT SHOWCASE _ MADE BY MEMBERS
Former agricultural site becomes serene rural living space
Sustainability and outdoor living were key objectives, leading to features such as living roofs, extensive planting and woodland development. Beyond the house itself, the site includes vegetable gardens, greenhouses and beehives, along with spa and wellness facilities, a gym and outdoor kitchen area. An equestrian complex with stables, tack room and a floodlit training arena allows the owners to pursue their sport at home.
What was once an agricultural site in the Vale of Glamorgan has been transformed into a sustainable countryside home by MJ Construction Wales. The project replaced old cattle sheds with a new detached property designed to support a low- impact lifestyle closely connected to the surrounding landscape. The home was planned with generous open-living areas, high ceilings and large windows to maximise natural light and views of nearby fields.

Modern extension for this historic Georgian home Build My Home Ltd carried out a sensitive renovation and extension to a tired Georgian property overlooking gardens and woodland. The aim was to modernise the house in Brighton while preserving its period character. Old outbuildings were demolished and replaced with a contemporary rear extension, housing a large kitchen and dining area designed for modern entertaining. The project was completed while the client remained living in the house. A standout feature is the structural glass oriel window, which frames views across the south-facing garden and draws natural light into the interior. The extension’s linear Ibstock brickwork and aluminium detailing provide an interesting contrast with the traditional house. Externally, the team rehung the existing tile hanging and reconstructed the front porch based on historic photographs from the 1950s. Internally, bespoke joinery, a handmade kitchen, shadow gaps and plaster-in pocket doors create a clean contemporary finish.
Natural materials and warm timber finishes create a calm interior environment.
