Overnhill Road
Exciting HMO Conversion with Creative Design Solutions
The background
Transforming a Former
B&B into a Stylish HMO
HMO Architects were thrilled to take on the interior design for 34-36 Overnhill, a large property with a generous garden that was once a bed and breakfast, giving is loads of room to work with. With planning permission already in place to convert it into an HMO, we eagerly stepped in to turn this space into a modern and inviting home for future tenants.

The brief
Creating an Engaging Communal Space
One of the challenges we encountered was working with the client’s own measurements, which didn’t quite match the actual site. However, our team quickly adapted, sourcing the right materials and furniture to bring the design to life. In the end, the project unfolded smoothly, with the client happy throughout the project duration.

The challenges
Creative Approaches to an Unconventional Layout
The oddly shaped communal area gave us an opportunity to think outside the box. Instead of a standard dining table, we installed a long breakfast bar along the windows, creating an intimate, social space with a bespoke feature. The result? A standout communal area that encourages tenants to mingle and enjoy each other’s company.
