Designed to Stay Independent
A simple solution to bring families closer
We built this one-bedroom annexe in Luton for Caroline’s father, David. The design gives him a private, practical home while keeping him close to the rest of the family. As a result, he can enjoy greater independence without feeling disconnected from his loved ones.

Hideaway Kitchen
Designed with Simplicity in Mind
A smooth build from start to finish, ready for decorating
We designed and built this annexe around the family’s needs. Caroline and David selected every finish, including the cladding, fascia and kitchen colour. Meanwhile, The Green Room managed the planning application, Building Regulations approval and full service connections.
After Building Control completed its final inspection and the electrician issued the required certification, we handed over the annexe ready for Caroline and David to decorate. We completed the entire project efficiently and supported it with a 10-year insurance-backed guarantee.
