16 Kilham Lane is a highly desirable property reflecting the distinctive style of local architect, Andy Ramus. The current owners have created a striking transformation of this classic 1950s home in Winchester, reimagined by AR Design Studio as the family home that it has become. Taking the original format and coupled with the requirement for more space, the current owners have successfully reconfigured and expanded the space into a bright, open, and family-friendly environment that embraces indoor/outdoor living. The dynamic extension provides a feeling of a home designed for living, growing and connecting. The design concept splits the extension into two distinct yet harmonious forms: a sleek, charcoal grey living area on the ground floor topped with a warm, timber-clad sleeping zone above. This combination offers a balance of robust and inviting materials that appeal to both adults and children alike. The ground level is all about openness and flexibility. It features a spacious kitchen, dining and living area that flow seamlessly together, perfect for family gatherings, playtime, and everyday life. Large full height, eco-friendly sliding glass doors open the space completely to the garden, creating an uninterrupted transition between indoors and out. This makes the garden feel like an extension of the home, ideal for summer barbecues, children's play, and outdoor relaxation.

The design maximizes natural light with floor-to-ceiling glass and side opaque panels that fill the interior with soft, diffused light. The continuous floor surface and flush thresholds blur the line between indoor and outdoor spaces, encouraging kids to run freely between the two. The upper floor, wrapped in western red cedar, is designed as a tranquil retreat for the family. It features a generous principal suite with a dedicated dressing area and an additional three bedrooms, offering each family member their own space as well as a further study or fifth bedroom. The lightweight timber construction minimizes the need for columns, ensuring the upper floor feels effortlessly supported without interrupting the ground floor's open-plan layout. Built with family comfort and sustainability in mind, the house boasts super-insulated walls and high-performance glazing that keep the home cosy in winter and cool in summer, reducing energy costs. The oversized cavities and timber construction allow for exceptional insulation, while the carefully placed vertical windows bring in natural light without compromising privacy, perfect for creating cosy nooks and playful shadows. Influenced by the timeless principals, the design of the extension achieves perfect balance and harmony. The blend of recessed and frameless windows creates a dynamic visual rhythm that adds a touch of contemporary flair, giving the home a sophisticated yet welcoming look.
