At Rapid Bee, we bring dreams to life. This case study highlights a unique double-house extension project undertaken at Hall Place Crescent. The project involved building rear extensions for two neighbouring families who seized the rare opportunity to construct simultaneously. With a timeline of approximately six months, this project embodies seamless collaboration, innovative design, and expert craftsmanship.
Initial Situation
The clients aimed to maximise their living spaces while maintaining their daily lives during the construction process. A key requirement was the ability to live upstairs throughout the build, necessitating thorough planning to minimise disruption. Each extension included modern features like underfloor heating and bespoke design elements, such as bare brick feature walls.
Challenges Faced
- Coordinating construction for two families simultaneously while ensuring each project met individual preferences.
- Minimising inconvenience for the residents who continued to live onsite during the build.
- Integrating advanced features like electric Velux windows and aluminium sliding doors seamlessly into the design.
Solution and Execution
Design Phase

- Engaged in thorough consultations with both families to align on design preferences and timelines.
- Secured all necessary permissions and approvals efficiently.
Construction Phase
- Set up temporary kitchens in the front rooms to enable the families to continue their daily routines.
- Installed modern features such as underfloor heating, electric Velux windows, and aluminium sliding doors.
- Emphasised aesthetic appeal with stunning bare brick feature walls in each extension.



Results and Benefits
The project was completed on time, delivering stylish and functional extensions that enhanced the homes’ overall value and aesthetic. The families gained spacious, modern living areas without sacrificing comfort during the build. The standout features, including underfloor heating and aluminium sliding doors, offered both practicality and luxury.
